[sublime merge] Merging Yours, Mine, Ours, Theirs Oh My!

#1

I have always had a problem with the git merge “ours” “theirs” nomenclature because I can’t ever get it in my head which one is ours and which one is theirs and understandably, Sublime Merge carries it too. Can we get a memory aide added to help with which is which?

Since we’re almost always comparing them Left compared to Right, can we get a label or text that says something like:

| Left (theirs) | Right(ours)  |
=====================
| code left      | code right   |

or a Take theirs(left), Take ours(right)

Surely, I can’t be the only one that can’t get this right and I would think it would be helpful.
