Do you really want to do this? I think this is a pretty large change
that can bite users if they don't know about this -- for example, because
they forgot that they are in a merge (it happens..).

FWIW, I'd much rather see a useful error message than this change. If
this change does get in, I think it should be well-documented in the
man pages as well as in the release notes.
