    If you’ve already attempted the merge and are looking at the unmerged files, you can use git checkout:

    git checkout some_branch
    git merge origin/master
    <conflicts!>
    git checkout --theirs -- <dir>|<file>
    

    (and of course, --ours keeps the version from the current branch)
