I'm sorry for asking (because I'm partly guilty in the mess the
merge-recursive is), but could you accept at least the patch which
started the thread? It's not as if it breaks something, or giving
wrong ideas, or anything. It's incomplete, but so long noone seem to
be able to find the time to finish the job, the patch will improve the
state of affairs a bit, will it not?
