 Saving Git-controlled file with merge conflicts after "stash pop"

I very much want Emacs to do that for me (or "git add", I really
couldn't care less which is used, I just want the "conflicted" marker to
be cleared).
I went to the trouble to get this working for Bzr back in the day, then
Svn (and managed to find someone else to do it for Git), because I find
it much too inconvenient otherwise.

I don't really know what is "safe" in this respect.  For my own use, all
of the options we've considered are safe.
