configuration to disable automatic merge conflict resolution
* Added annex.resolvemerge configuration, which can be set to false to disable the usual automatic merge conflict resolution done by git-annex sync and the assistant. * sync: Added --no-resolvemerge option. Note that disabling merge conflict resolution is probably not a good idea in a direct mode repo or adjusted branch. Since updates to both are done outside the usual work tree, if it fails the tree is not left in a conflicted state, and it would be hard to manually resolve the conflict. Still, made annex.resolvemerge be supported in those cases for consistency. This commit was sponsored by Riku Voipio.
