Description
Hi,
I'm trying to use pygit2 to resolve repo conflicts.
I intentionally created a conflict between a file in the local repo and a file in the remote repo. I have seen on certain methods that the favorite argument exists to have ours or theirs but I do not understand how to implement it, I always have "cannot create a tree from a not fully merged index" when I do my self .repo.index.write_tree()

Research direction
Start with pygit2's conflict-resolution API and the repo.index.write_tree() call described in the report. Reproduce the intentionally conflicting local and remote files, then determine how the favorite argument should be applied before writing the tree. Done means documenting or correcting the supported ours/theirs workflow so the index can be written without the reported error.
