The post mentions merge.conflictStyle but one thing I would like to see git steal from BitKeeper is the unified diff conflict style.
See the first example in this manpage:
https://www.bitkeeper.org/man/smerge.html https://www.bitkeeper.org/man/smerge.html
But we never managed to get that used much as you can infer by this help:
-g Enable 'gca' output format that shows the local and remote files
like a unified diff between the GCA and that file. This is the
recommended output format, but not the default because it con-
fuses people the first time they see it.
You have to do more editing to resolve the conflict, but what changed is a lot more obvious.
