Thread 
I have spent some time trying to make sense of the weird diff3.c code.
While doing so I have committed some mechanical and stylisitic changes
without review. Please take a look at these changes if you have time.

I have now arrived at a point where I can finally make the functional
change I've been working towards, and I'm switching back into pre-commit
review mode. Please check my diff and the proposed functional change.

This diff makes conflict markers include the original group of lines
which were changed in conflicting ways in two derived versions of the
same file.

For instance, during 'got update', conflicts used to appear like this:

  <<<<<<<
  content of new file in repository
  =======
  content of locally modified file
  >>>>>>>

With the change below, conflicts appear like this instead:

  <<<<<<<
  content of new file in repository
  |||||||
  content of original file in repository
  =======
  content of locally modified file
  >>>>>>>

This behaviour matches the default behaviour of Subversion 1.12 and
should make it somewhat easier to make sense of merge conflicts.
Feedback from SVN users about this behaviour change has been very positive.

Note that no label ("commit 1234abc...") is printed after ||||||| yet.
I intend to work on that next if this change gets comitted.

ok?
