You sent this off-list; I'm taking back to the list because I've got some
input that I hadn't thought of, or seen stated, before.

Yah, me to, to be honest... but I like the flexibility for the .rej files.
You can get the CVS markers from the .rej files, but not vice-versa... not as
easily. The same information is there, I suppose, but it is much easier to
go one way than the other.
In particular, I'm thinking of the future, when we may have an intelligent IDE
that can handle the .rej files. It'll most likely be able to do more with
the .rej files than with the markers embedded in the source.
Furthermore, I'd /guess/ that .rej files are more appropriate for binaries,
since trying to insert markers into binaries is impossible to do
unilaterally. Having Subversion treat text differently than binaries breaks
the conformity of the system. Yes, I realize that text already is treated
differently than binary data, but I guess if I'm used to looking for .rej
files for binaries, I'll only have to learn and remember one way of dealing
with conflicts.
For whatever 0.2 cents is worth these days...
Oh, and I'd like to publically apologize for some really horrid spelling in my
past few postings. They've been pretty painful to read.
