Wow, thanks for the quick response! That does indeed let me checkout
the file as expected.

I wrote a test (below) to be folded in with your patch, but the test
fails because it expects the restored file to be the same as the
originally-conflicted file, but the conflict-line labels change from
"HEAD" and "master":

  <<<<<<< HEAD
  in_topic
  =======
  in_master
  >>>>>>> master

to "ours" and "theirs".  (The same thing happens in the 3-way merge
case.)

If the label change is expected then I can rewrite the test to ignore
labels, or to expect "ours" and "theirs", whichever you think is best.
If the label change is unexpected, then I guess the test is good :)
