I agree with it in principle, but I am not going to write one any time
soon. I think the most difficult case is when the submitter based a fix on
'next' or 'pu' and I fixed it up so that it applies to 'maint'. It is not
trivial to express conflict resolution in such a case, as what your tool
has to do its work are (1) the original patch that may apply to
"somewhere" (the tool could ask "am -3" to help it out), and (2) the patch
that is queued somewhere in 'pu'.
