In StGIT I can configure the merge command and I currently use the
attached script (I need to add it to the StGIT repository). It tries
diff3 first and, if that fails, invokes emacs' merge (can use xxdiff
as well). It also checks whether the file was modified in case I want
to exit and solve the conflict later (maybe after getting conflict
information for the other files).
