The original documentation from 7b5cf8be18 (vimdiff: add tool
documentation, 2022-03-30) mistakenly described the marker as an
asterisk, which is the character "*". The code and examples have always
looked for an arobase ("@").
---
NB The (French) name arobase for "@" is gaining popularity in English writing
but is not yet universally standard. Use of a different name when picking is
fine by me.
I also did not attempt to clarify the behavior from the recent bug report [1]
because I hope it is repared rather than documented.

When `MERGED` is not present in the layout, you must "mark" one of the
-buffers with an asterisk. That will become the buffer you need to edit and
+buffers with an arobase (`@`). That will become the buffer you need to edit and
save after resolving the conflicts.
