I agree 100%. In the case where the 'merged' file doesn't exist (i.e.
binary files), selecting mine/theirs would choose the entire file.
But if a 'merged' file does exist, we need to scan the file, detect
conflict markers, and select one side of the hunk.

That said, doesn't Jeremy's 'svn resolved --accept {left|right}' code
have the exact same problem? It shouldn't be accepting the entire
file, but selecting certain sides of conflicted hunks. If so, we're
finally at a place where Jeremy and I can share some common code to do
this. :-)
