Wow, that's a very interesting read. I'm more informed than I was before
I read it but also at the same time more confused :). It makes me think
that "git commit does the same thing as git merge --continue" is maybe
not true but also I don't know what the difference might be.

I've put an item on my TODO list to remove 
`git commit does the same thing as git merge --continue`" and to try to
replace it with a more vague sentence that I guess says you can use
either command without being so specific on whether they are exactly
the same.

Good to know! Removed this from my v2 cover letter draft.
