Use of opendiff as merge program on MacOS X
Hello,
If one has the developer tools installed on MacOS X there's
another alternative for the merge program.
Invocation could be done somehow like in the attached patch for
hgmerge.
#!/bin/sh
#
# hgmerge - default merge helper for Mercurial
#
# This tries to find a way to do three-way merge on the current system.
# The result ought to end up in $1.
set -e # bail out quickly on failure
