Hello,

I know this particular project seems currently unmaintained, but could we
consider something like
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MergediffExtensionfor core?

I understand why merges show up the way they do in history and why they
show up the way they do when you "diff" them.  It makes perfect sense from
a technical perspective, but honestly it's quite crappy from a code review
standpoint.  When I want to review code, what I am interested in is
conflict resolution, because that's where things "go bad" in a merge.

Having a tool like the MergeDiff extension in core means it's a lot more
likely that code review tools will provide this sort of view for merges,
making them possible to actually review.

Cheers,
Na'Tosha
