filemerge: default change/delete conflicts to 'leave unresolved' (BC) It makes far more sense to leave these conflicts unresolved and kick back to the user than to just assume that the local version be chosen. There are almost certainly buggy scripts and applications using Mercurial in the wild that do merges or rebases non-interactively, and then assume that if the operation succeeded there's nothing the user needs to pay attention to. (This wasn't possible earlier because there was no way to re-resolve change/delete conflicts -- but now it is.)
