xdiff-merge: optionally show conflicts in "diff3 -m" style
When showing conflicting merges, we traditionally followed RCS's merge
output format. The output shows:
<<<<<<<
postimage from one side;
=======
postimage of the other side; and
>>>>>>>
Some poeple find it easier to be able to understand what is going on when
they can view the common ancestor's version, which is used by "diff3 -m",
which shows:
<<<<<<<
postimage from one side;
|||||||
shared preimage;
=======
postimage of the other side; and
>>>>>>>
This is an initial step to bring that as an optional feature to git.
Only "git merge-file" has been converted, with "--diff3" option.
