Hello Rob!
All,

Fixing merge conflicts? ;-)

No matter how smart a merge heuristic could be, it can be nowhere as
smart a human brain is. Solving merge conflicts implies a human doing
the nit-picking of what's going in, what's not going in, and what needs
to be changed/fixed before it goes in.

Or so I think, and I'm ready to be proven wrong...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
