Modify and do "git add", but you should be able to avoid the conflicts.

No, then the left side (you) changed all lines and the right side
changed some lines. The merge cannot happen automatically.

This should be the other way around. Merging 'vim-with-runtime'
shouldn't cause a conflict, because it is already solved in the merge
commit 68e4f6c. But merging 'feat/rel-line-numbers' will cause
conflicts, because it doesn't contain the merge commit which includes
the resolution. Are you sure the merge of 'feat/rel-line-numbers' went
fine?

I tried it myself:

$ git checkout -b custom origin/vim-with-runtime^ (15fb69133 7.2.209 + runtime)
$ git merge origin/feat/rel-line-numbers^ (4657617 7.2.209 + relativenumber)

Now I should be in a state before you run your update script.

Merging origin/feat/rel-line-numbers now leaves a conflict:

  diff --cc runtime/doc/autocmd.txt
  index 8408c0e,14d64ed..0000000
  --- a/runtime/doc/autocmd.txt
  +++ b/runtime/doc/autocmd.txt
  @@@ -754,7 -754,7 +754,11 @@@ SwapExists                        Detected an 
existing swap
                                          'a'     abort, like hitting CTRL-C
                                  When set to an empty string the user will be
                                  asked, as if there was no SwapExists autocmd.
  ++<<<<<<< HEAD:runtime/doc/autocmd.txt

  ++>>>>>>> feat/rel-line-numbers:runtime/doc/autocmd.txt
                                  It is not allowed to change to another buffer,
                                  change a buffer name or change directory
                                  here.

But first merging origin/vim-with-runtime and then
origin/feat/rel-line-numbers (which is not necessary) succeeds.

In this case you should at first merge 'vim-with-runtime' and then
'feat/rel-num-lines'. First merge the branch which contains a resolved
conflict. Maybe you can change your script to choose which branch to
merge first. My suggestion to first merge the feat/* branches is merely
based on likeliness of occuring conflicts.

The conflict was caused because of conflicting changes in the commit
34eaa4f8 (update runtime files, 2009-03-23) and commit 19982beb
(7.2.216), so the resolution is in 'vim-with-runtime' but not in any
feat/* branch. Another negative side effect of separating the runtime
files.

Hey, it is not broken, I don't push an unresolved repo out :)
