But in the wiki it can't work that way at the moment - they are committed
as soon as you click save. If we were to do a proper merge at that point we
would have no choice but to either NOT save the changes (returning to the
editor with the conflict-marked version), or to save the conflicted
version. The first option has other side effects (e.g. it would affect
"fossil wiki commit pageName FILENAME"). In an automated process the second
option would produce conflicts which probably largely go unnoticed.
