I do agree that the most irritating feature of it is the silent clean 
merge. When it's not obvious what the right thing to do is, generally a 
merge strategy should try to warn, or even generate a conflict.

That said, anybody who thinks that "merge was automatic and successful" 
means that the mege was _correct_ is sadly mistaken. So you really 
shouldn't depend on it, and yeah, I strongly suggest building and testing 
after a merge (and before you push the result out), so that you can fix 
any issues.
