Yes, but not before 1.0. We track more history than we use,
currently. Getting Merge Right is an ancient and venerable topic on
this list -- search the archives, you'll see what I mean :-) -- and
there will always be room for improvement. Right now, we're trying to
match CVS's functionality, plus do better where it's relatively easy
to do better (i.e., grab low hanging fruit).
