The command "dolt merge --abort" is used to abort an ongoing merge operation in Dolt, a version-controlled SQL database.
When you initiate a merge operation in Dolt, it attempts to merge the changes from a source branch into the current branch. However, in some cases, you may want to abort the merge process if you encounter conflicts or decide not to proceed with the merge for some reason.
By executing "dolt merge --abort," you signal Dolt to stop the current merge operation and return to the state before the merge was started. This means that any changes or conflicts encountered during the merge will be discarded, and the branches will be left unchanged.
It's important to note that this command can only be used during an ongoing merge, and it has no effect if you're not actively merging branches.
