copies: detect case when a merge decision overwrite previous data
We now detect and record when a merge case required special logic (eg: thing
that append during the merge, ambiguity leading to picking p1 data, etc) and we
explicitly mark the result as superseding the previous data.
This fixes the family of test we previously added.

simplemerge [OPTS] LOCAL BASE OTHER
Simple three-way file merge utility with a minimal feature set.
Apply to LOCAL the changes necessary to go from BASE to OTHER.
By default, LOCAL is overwritten with the results of this operation.
options:
-L --label labels to use on conflict markers
-a --text treat all files as text
-p --print print results instead of overwriting LOCAL
--no-minimal no effect (DEPRECATED)
-h --help display help and exit
-q --quiet suppress output
