Thank you! Slowly I also get a warm fuzzy feeling...

My idea, to have an inbuilt work-alike to RCS merge, was not only 
instigated by my liking the zealous option, but also to be able to add 
relatively fast tests.

Originally, I thought that building in git-merge-one-file, and enhancing 
it to recognize by the parameters if it should act as a merge replacement, 
would be the way to go. Should I do this, or rather add 
builtin-merge-file?

Ciao,
Dscho
