Yes.  :-)

Right now I think the user could just "plug in" their own "merge"
program earlier in PATH than the real one.  :-)

It would be nice to get the speed of being able to just run the
xdiff code and the Git apply code directly on the file blobs in
memory, without forking, but I think pluggable file content merging
programs is a very good idea, for lots of different reasons.
