I used this pattern to select sections of test that belong to me
when CVS or SVN generates a merge conflict. This pattern works fine:

I have search highlighting turned on and I can see the multiline
patterns get highlighted as expected.
Then I tried to delete all of those highlighted areas by using
the global command:
:g//d
This didn't work. It would delete the FIRST line of the pattern match, but
leave all the other lines.
Right, this is how it's supopsed to work.
I suggest the following (untested):
:g/^<<<<<<<\_.\{-}=======.*$/.,/=======.*$/d
To test it safely, you can try first:
:g/^<<<<<<<\_.\{-}=======.*$/.,/=======.*$/p
Maybe you don't even need such complex 1st pattern.
Maybe the simpler thing will work, too:
:g/^<<<<<<</.,/=======.*$/d
To test it safely, you can try first:
:g/^<<<<<<</.,/=======.*$/p
