But then, you could output the message _twice_: first possibly in-between
patches ("WARNING: ...") and then at the end.
However, I have the slight suspicion that people will not even notice. I
mean, we had bug reports on merge-recursive, where the reporter failed to
even acknowledge the fact that merge-recursive said that there were
conflicts, and even listed them.
So I have the slight suspicion that all this will accomplish is "shut the
darn thing up", and old-timers will have a harder time, since they no
longer spot easily when they did a Dumb Thing and left the index out of
sync.
Slightly negative.
Ciao,
Dscho
