Re: SVN suggestion: addition of a manual merge operation

* thanks for the reply

* the suggestion is unix/linux specific; I'm on windows (where I'm not aware
of an equivalent command to /bin/false); I haven't been able to get
something like that to work on a quick try

* I think it would be useful to provide a command line switch to do a manual
merge (perhaps "--manual" as an alternative to "--diff3-cmd ...") for 2
reasons
  - it would make the functionality accessible to folks who don't want to
get into complicated-sounding (and potentially dangerous) options
  - it would be more efficient if SVN knew not to bother to call an external
merge function

* otherwise, I would suggest including comments on how to do that (for the
main OSs at least) in the SVN book.

cheers
