Sweet! I've read through your example, and this looks really great!

I can't wait to start using it, and start promoting it to my user base
;-). Time to fire up a trunk build, and start looking at extending
those tests you mentioned.

BTW: until now it looks like the "m" option would usually be the
sanest option ("suggested option", as mentioned by swdev in the other
thread). At least, that's what I would recommend to my users, if they
don't want to think too hard: "just accept the (m)erge option, if
there is one" :-).

Great work!
