I've probably missed something. Why do you prefer this behaviour? Won't
be it better to handle this almost like ordinary conflicts: put
repository version into working copy under fancy name, without changing
the original one, and then let the user choose whatever version he
likes. I guess it's not possible to merge them in the usual way, because
there's no common base, but moving file out of the way is inconvenient.
I did not like this in CVS.
