If Config::Model could solve the merge problem (add the missing
three-way-merge function) I'm sure many people would buy you
$favourite_drink :)
ISTR that has been discussed more than one time in the past but it
still does not exist; I couldn't find anything on -devel or -project in 2009
Ah, I was thinking of Arthur Liu's summary of last year's Google
Summer of Code projects (summarised on his blog at
http://www.milliways.fr/ , keyword "mergemaster")
If I understand your idea and Config::Model's capabilities correctly
I think this is definitively worth following. And I suggest to
propose/discuss it on -devel (and maybe contact the people familiar
with mergemaster or other previous efforts before).
Cheers,
gregor
