Often people want their conflicting merges autoresolved by favouring
upstream changes (or their own --- it's the same thing), and hinted to run
"git diff --name-only | xargs git checkout MERGE_HEAD --". This is
essentially to accept automerge results for the paths that are fully
resolved automatically while taking their version of the file in full for
paths that have conflicts.
This is problematic on two counts.
One problem is that this is not exactly what these people want. They
usually want to salvage as much automerge result as possible. In
particular, they want to keep autoresolved parts in conflicting paths, as
well as the paths that are fully autoresolved.
This patch teaches two new modes of operation to the lowest-lever merge
machinery, xdl_merge(). Instead of leaving the conflicted lines from both
sides enclosed in <<<, ===, and >>> markers, you can tell the conflicts to
be resolved favouring your side or their side of changes.
A larger problem is that this tends to encourage a bad workflow by
allowing them to record such a mixed up half-merge result as a full commit
without auditing. This commit does not tackle this latter issue. In git,
we usually give long enough rope to users with strange wishes as long as
the risky features is not on by default.
