It's a question of when, not if.

We started out with a very similar plan for repeated merge handling.
If you read our original design documents, you'll see some very
familiar stuff there. Then when we tried to get down to details, we
discovered we were naive, and that the problem required a lot more
thought/research. So, we decided to focus on matching CVS (not CVSNT,
not ClearCase, not BitKeeper, etc) first, and put off merge tracking
for a while.
