idea: "external diff3 command called only for conflicts" merge command line option

Hi,

The internal svn diff3 algorithm seems to be as good as any external
tool I've ever tried, so I would like to make the most use of it. On
the other hand, when conflicts are detected, I'm left high and dry
and have to call a merge resolution tool myself, or edit the
conflicted file with a text editor.

For convenience, it would be handy to allow svn to resolve everything
itself normally, but when a conflict is detected, then fall back to
the --diff3-cmd external tool. This would smooth my work flow, while
making the most of svn. This latter part is important, as I don't
want to have to assess the quality of an external tool to do
automatic merging before letting it silently merge files I might not
look so closely at. When there are conflicts, of course, I'm already
looking closely.

Ideally, this setting would make it into the config file as well.

Any opinions?

Thanks,
