Dear diary, on Tue, Apr 19, 2005 at 04:48:09AM CEST, I got a letter

Possibly. Or changing () to {} as suggested by Edgar Toernig.

FWIW, my fragment of this code now looks like:

        ret=0
        if ! merge "$src2" "$orig" "$src1"; then
                echo Conflicting merge!
                cat "$src2" >"$4"
                ret=1

        elif ! cat "$src2" >"$4" && update-cache --add -- "$4"; then
                echo "Choosing $src2 -> $4 failed"
                ret=1
        fi
        rm "$orig" "$src1" "$src2"
        exit $ret
