Issue 159: Merge should actively garble all conflicted files, and allow the 
user to resolve later

  Hello,

Thanks for taking care of it, however I consider the current implementation as 
only partially usable. 

The reason is that the reference files for common base and the other branch are 
missing and will need to be hunted by the user who does the merge.

Each conflict should ideally generate 4 files:
* MyFile.c (garbled)
* MyFile.c.BASE (common base of both files which are merged)
* MyFile.c.THIS (local file before merging)
* MyFile.c.OTHER

For complicated merges, this setup allows the user to quickly compare THIS with 
BASE and OTHER with BASE, rename the one with the most changes as MyFile.c, 
then manually insert the changes from the other pair.

Obs: this is how TortoiseSVN and Bazaar handle a conflict.

Changes:
  status: resolved -> open
  component: settings -> merge
  version: 0.7 -> crew
