I still see a problem there. Doing the conflict resolution in the branch
takes time, during which someone else could have made another commit to the
trunk. Once that happens, the branch would be out of date, and when
committing the merged changes from the branch to trunk, it'd have to create a
new branch to resolve the new conflicts.
Maybe there's nothing technically impossible about that, but it would be
annoying. On the other hand, the chances of that happening would be rare
(even for a large project).
