Please don't sacrifice mergemaster(8) for the successful transition to
Git. The amount of feedback on the mailing list should give the core@
some idea of how widely mergemasted is still deployed. Some people just
like to merge files side by side with pressing keys. Why innocent
mergemaster(8) has to be a victim of switching to Git? Sacrifice please
svnlite(1) - it became completely useless for HEAD and upcoming stable
branches.

Kind regards,
