   If you wish to re-add a package, create a new PrjGit PR which adds again the submodule on the branch that has the "-removed" suffix. The bot will automatically remove this suffix from the project branch in the pool.
 
 
+Merge Modes
+-----------
+
+| Merge Mode | Description
+|------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+| ff-only    | Only allow --ff-only merges in the package branch. This is best suited for
+|            | devel projects and openSUSE Tumbleweed development, where history should be linear
+| replace    | Merge is done via `-X theirs` strategy and old files are removed in the merge.
+|            | This works well for downstream codestreams, like Leap, that would update their branch
+|            | using latest version.
+| devel      | No merge, just set the project branch to PR HEAD. This is suitable for downstream
+|            | projects like Leap during development cycle, where keeping maintenance history is not important
