Your branch is in stage 2 and the branch you are pulling is in
stage 3.  So if I ran:

	git pull . other

then my HEAD before the pull is stage 2 and other is stage 3.

You can use checkout-index to get your version (stage 2) or the
other version (stage 3):

	git checkout-index -f --stage=2 .../path;   # mine
	git checkout-index -f --stage=3 .../path;   # other

then just make sure you update-index before you commit (git commit
-a would do the trick too).
