My wish is to have the conflict resolution from \"git annex sync\" in the \"master\" branch, but no automatic commit, such that the user can verify and possibly correct the merge. The proposed merge could go to the index. Consider the following scenario: + +1. We have repo A, B, and CENTRAL +2. All three start with a root commit in \"master\" branch +3.
