If the file mode or link changed in only one branch, keep the changed
version. If the file mode or link changed differently in both branches,
report a conflict. If this happens, the user is more likely to be aware of
the change in the head branch. Choose the remote version by default, in
order to make the user think about the change.

Yeah, that's no good. I think I understand the meaning of result.merge and
result.clean now.
result.merge indicates that there are changes in both branches, whereas
result.clean indicates that the merge was trivial.
I amended the patch to reflect this.
I also noticed that in case of LINKs or GITLINKs which changed in both
branches, the head version is kept by default. By the same rationale I gave for
the file modes, I think the remote version should be kept instead, in order to
make the user aware of this change.
Regards,
Clemens
