Dear diary, on Fri, Oct 21, 2005 at 04:59:06AM CEST, I got a letter
where "Martin Langhoff (CatalystIT)" <martin@catalyst.net.nz> told me that...

Yes, following renames is nice. But as long as it is three-way, it
suffers of inherent and rather nasty problems. Well, I'm watching the
weave merge effort and plan to give it a try to port it to GIT when I
have some time.

There was a bug in argument parsing of cg-Xmergefile, already fixed now.

Well, it's true that cg-Xmergefile still does not handle all merge
cases, but it certainly will not be silent about it, at least. ;-)
