Explain.

A 3-way merge tool is mostly useful for doing manual merges; that way
you can see what CHANGED in each version compared to a common
ancestor, not just what is different between two versions. Why do you
think it would only be useful for automatic merges? True a good 3-way
tool will automatically try to select some differences for you, but
you can always override that, or you can often configure it to not
make any automatic selections.
