Ah, ok.  Well, I started looking at it yesterday.

True, but git.pm does it, so apparently there's a method.

Well, one thing that's a bit hard is how to handle conflicts in
monotone terms.  The new merge_into_workspace helps, I'll say.  I need
to make some experiments to see how I can back out of such a merge,
though.

Eeeep, I didn't pay attention at that time.  If anyone could point me
at that message, or give me a hint at how to fid it (subject line, for
example), I'd be greatful!
