merge: use bid merge by default (BC)
In most cases merges will work exactly as before.
The only difference is in criss-cross merge situations where there is multiple
ancestors. Instead of picking an more or less arbitrary ancestor, it will
consider both ancestors and pick the best bids.
Bid merge can be disabled with --config merge.preferancestor='!'.

Removing foo1 and bar:
$ cp foo1 F

$ hg rm -f foo1 bar
$ hg debugstate --nodates
r 0 -2 bar
r 0 -1 foo1
copy: foo -> foo1
$ hg st -qC

R foo1
Re-adding foo1 and bar:
$ cp F foo1
$ cp B bar
$ hg add -v foo1 bar
adding bar
adding foo1

Reverting foo1 and bar:
$ hg revert -vr . foo1 bar
saving current version of bar as bar.orig
reverting bar
saving current version of foo1 as foo1.orig

$ hg diff
Merge should not overwrite local file that is untracked after remove
$ rm *
$ hg up -qC
$ hg rm bar
$ hg ci -m 'remove bar'
$ echo 'memories of buried pirate treasure' > bar
$ hg merge
bar: untracked file differs
abort: untracked files in working directory differ from files in requested revision
[255]
$ cat bar
