I don't think there are any advantages in deviating from the git
behaviour, only that when I first implementing it, git didn't have any
smarter behaviour and I used diff3 (or other external merger, which
can be used right now as well).

I'm not sure if git-diff still works when there are conflicts in the
index. The current stg behaviour is to reset the index to the base of
the patch and a stg diff would show the diff (including the config
markers) to the base. I find this quite handy.
