Sounds reasonable. But I think we have to keep in mind that you only
know if the conflict is nasty after you have a go at fixing it. And I
sometimes find that I try with cg-xxdiff... and I go back to the plain
old conflict. That is why it doesn't clobber the file -- to protect a
manual merge in process.

Great! -- I'm travelling and at an airport "free access" computer. It
should be illegal to run airports without free wifi in this day and
age.
