I cannot find the answers to these 3 questions:

I've looked at https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitglossary.html

From the git revisions documentation:

  • HEAD - The name for the last commit of a branch

HEAD names the commit on which you based the changes in the working tree.

  • ??? - the name for the last commit before a merge was started

MERGE_HEAD records the commit(s) which you are merging into your branch when you run git merge

  • ??? - the name for the last commit that came from the remote repository

FETCH_HEAD records the branch which you fetched from a remote repository with your last git fetch invocation
