Nicely? I think the user should be given a stern lecture.

Moving back from in-progress to chatting. I was expecting a fix for this to fall
out of the rename work, but it didn't.

What are even the semantics of such operation? I guess aborting _nicely_ is good
enough, no?

still relevant

hg init a
hg clone a b
cd a
mkdir dir
touch dir/a
hg ci -Am m

cd ../b
touch dir
hg ci -Am m
hg pull ../a
hg merge

cd ../a
hg pull ../b
hg merge

If you're merging with 'update -m' and you get a conflict between a file and a
directory, you get one of two unhelpful responses:
$ hg update -m
abort: Is a directory

$ hg update -m
abort: File exists: /home/jeremy/hg/t/1/foo
