Dear diary, on Sun, Sep 24, 2006 at 07:02:28PM CEST, I got a letter

In that case I think the most natural way for this tool to interface
would be in part of some kind of cg-resolve swiss-army knife for
resolving conflicts:

	cg-resolve --mine	for taking just the version from _my_
				side of the merge
	cg-resolve --other	dtto for the other side of the merge
	cg-resolve -g		graphically resolve
				(vimdiff/xxdiff/meld/...)
	surely more would be invented over time

Well, all the Cogito scripts should have some consistent form. :-)

But I can adjust such details when applying your patch.
