I tried that already. Only to find that the first merge I tested showed 
one change between RCS merge and xdl_merge(): xdl_merge() does not yet 
take context into account, so these two diffs

will conflict only for the weary/weird lines, _not_ for wanderers.

Besides, my recent patch series was gained exactly by that test. Though I 
did not extend that test to the Linux repo, and I am by no means finished 
with the git one.
