In doing some merges lately, I've gotten into situations where mergemaster
gives me a choice between old lines I want to keep on the left, and new
lines which I want to add on the right.  A specific example was in merging
my /etc/group and /etc/passwd files, I had the choice between some existing 
groups which I need to retain on the left, and some newly-added system groups 
which I want to incorporate, on the right.

How can I tell mergemaster something like, "insert the left alternative
first, followed by the right alternative" or vice versa, right first, then
left?  Must I just edit the file(s) manually?

And I suppose if we're going to add some flavor of a 'both' option, it's 
only a matter of time before a need for 'neither' arises.
