If "non-interactive" is set for a merge and the merge would result in a
conflict, the file is marked as in conflict and the merge goes on. You
will have to resolve the conflicts after the whole merge is finished.
If it's not set, then before a file is marked as conflicted you get the
chance to resolve the conflict *during* the merge. This has the
advantage that if a file gets multiple merges (multiple revisions apply
a change to that file), subsequent merges might succeed depending on
which lines are affected. But of course you can't walk away to get a
coffee while the merge is running ;)
