Well, if we want that the stuff is noticed and really used we have to
add a little bit about this to monotone.texi, I think. We don't need
very much, but a chapter on the Lua mergers in general plus a list
of what functionality std_hooks.lua provides out-of-the-box might be
reasonable. A few sentences could be enough, I think. But variables like
MTN_MERGE and MTN_MERGE_DIFFUTILS should be mentioned there, of course.
Is anybody volunteering to write down a little bit about this?
