Hello,

I think fossil handles bad the conflicts on binary files. Basically, it
overwrites the file in case of conflict, expecting the user to do "undo" for
planing a later conflict resolution. I think this can end up in lost changes in
the working directory too easily.

What about the approach of leaving in the working directory the unmergeable
file contents? Wouldn't it be better?

Another situation is when 'update' brings in some files that already existed in
the working directory (but were unmanaged by fossil). I think fossil simply
overwrites them without telling anything. This can also cause an important loss.

I'm using fossil released on 2011-01-13 when experiencing this.

Regards,
Lluís.
