Quite correct. Its the aborting merge that is killing us.

Right now, we're relearning C to work on tree_conflict.c to see if we

All Agile (Scrum / Extreme Programming) teams will be in that boat.

However, this is only going to be a problem for those teams if they do

True trunk based dev is not likely to be a problem with 1.6.3+ IMO.
