Have you experimented with the 'merge' attribute (see "git help
attributes")?  E.g. you can put

 * -merge

in .gitattributes or .git/info/attributes.

If that helps, then a patch adding a pointer to the most helpful place
(maybe git-merge.txt?) would be very welcome.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
