Can anyone give me an example of one such merge that is "complicated" in
a different VCS (e.g. requires several steps, or human intervention) but
is simple in Darcs?
I'm thinking that I could use this as example #2 in the documentation.
So the tack would be "this is something Darcs does better" rather than
"this is something only Darcs can do".
Cheers,
Daniel.
