merge: add an internal:merge3 tool This variant gives access to a feature already present in ``internal:merge``: displaying merge base content. In the basic merge (calling ``hg merge``) case, including more context to the merge markers is an interesting addition. But this extra information is the only viable option in case conflict from grafting (, rebase, etc…). When grafting ``source`` on ``destination``, the parent of ``source`` is used as the ``base``. When all three changesets add content in the same location, the marker for ``source`` will contains both ``base`` and ``source`` content. Without the content of base exposed, there is no way for the user to discriminate content coming from ``base`` and content commit from ``source``. Practical example (all addition are in the same place): * ``destination`` adds ``Dest-Content`` * ``base`` adds ``Base-Content`` * ``source`` adds ``Src-Content`` Grafting ``source`` on ``destination`` will produce the following conflict: <<<<<<< destination Dest-Content ======= Base-Content Src-Content >>>>>>> source This that case there is no way to distinct ``base`` from ``source``. As a result content from ``base`` are likely to slip in the resolution result. However, adding the base make the situation very clear: <<<<<<< destination Dest-Content ||||||| base Base-Content ======= base Base-Content Src-Content >>>>>>> source Once the base is added, the addition from the grafted changeset is made clear. User can compare the content from ``base`` and ``source`` to make an enlightened decision during merge resolution.

internal:merge: update documentation Highlight the fact there are two regions in the markers and what their contents are. This prepares for the arrival of merge3.

filemerge: allow the formatting of three labels instead of two When a third label is provided (to included the base content) it is properly processed as the two others. Nothing changes if only two labels are provided.

filemerge: drop extra white space There should be no white space around the brace.

simplemerge: support three labels when merging If a third label is provided it will be used for the "base" content: <<<<<<< local content from local ||||||| base former common ======= other conflicting >>>>>>> other

simplemerge: burn "minimal" feature to the ground Matt Mackall said: The goal of simplemerge should have always been to be a drop-in replacement for RCS merge. Please nuke this minimization thing entirely. This whole things is now dead.
