Hi Rob,
I've done something similar in the past.
Give me a couple of days and I'll have a look at this.
Can I get old history.md files from anywhere to test with?
Cheers
Sean.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Git-fu: custom merge driver for History.md?
Anyone out there a Git-master or know a Git-master? I found an interesting
feature in Git that allows one to write a custom merge driver:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html#_defining_a_custom_merge_driver
I was thinking if someone knew enough about writing such things (maybe need
bash scripting skills?), it would be awesome if we could get a custom merge
driver for History.md.
The goal is simple. Union the other branches changes to History.md on top of
the current branches version of History.md. The goal is that new adds always
end up on top.
History.md is (as you'd expect) the prime source of conflicts for us. Having
something like this (or coming up with a mechanism that gives us the same
benefits without the down) would *significantly* reduce the number of conflicts.
I would be greatly appreciative if anyone knew how to solve this.
