I notice that the doc string no longer documents the form of "@a path":
that sentence you quoted is not there; but the problem still exists.

It would be good to rename the function parameters in the struct to
better names, like the names used in merge_file_added():
"mine_[abs?]path", "older_abspath", etc. instead of "path", "tmpfile1",
etc.
