I'm not sure exactly the sequence of events here but chances are you ran 
into the "normal" problem of trying to merge a change that modifies 
Misc/NEWS.  Unless you are very lucky or careful, merging Misc/NEWS 
changes from, say, 3.2 to 3.3 or 3.3 to default seldom works cleanly.  
After merging but before committing, you can just revert Misc/NEWS and 
then manually re-insert the changes.   The auto-merge of Misc/NEWS is 
more often than not useless.
