I just installed last night's nightly and I can't see anything new
apart from showing merged paths, which I already mentioned. You can
use that to find out which lines got there because of a merge, but it
takes a lot of screen space (1% german screen width, 20% english
screen width). I was just looking for a very compact indicator that
'merges took place on this line'. Actually, to be honest I'm only
saying this because the CLI does it. I don't know whether it is really
useful.
