> ours means what is in my local codebase

Since it's always one person doing a merge, why isn't it "mine" instead of "ours"? There aren't five of us at my computer collaboratively merging in a PR. There is one person doing it.

"Ours" makes it sound like some branch everyone who's working on the repo already has access to, not the active branch on my machine.
