Yes and this is definitely useful. But is there a way to ensure if my local differences to the repository (aka my changes) are the same before/after the merge?

Would it be an option to have a context menu item to launch a 3-way merge viewer with base/old/mine so I can perfectly ensure the merge went ok?

Don't misunderstand, I don't want to disable the automatic merge, just want to have a way to ensure that it went ok.
