Hi everyone, Last week, Duy posted an interesting RFC patch for improving merge conflict resolution by coloring the "CONFLICT' messages that are output during a merge. I have two more ideas (complementary to his) for improving merge conflict resolution experience. My two ideas are mostly independent of each other but with a couple important ties; I'll shortly respond with a short RFC/WIP series for each. Some notes applicable to both: - Each has a very long cover letter, due to trying to anticipate questions/surprises and responding to each. It may be simpler to skip the cover letter (or just read the up-front summary) and see if the patches make sense, - I am planning to imminently start looking into my merge-recursive rewrite[1]. One possibility is just doing these changes as part of the new strategy...thoughts? Elijah [1] See part E from https://public-inbox.org/git/CABPp-BFQJZHfCJZ1qvhvVcMd-_sOfi0Fkm5PexEwzzN+Zw2akw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/; also the two RFCs I'm about to post are part C from that email.
