I think if we are going to make this optional with SVN, we should make
it optional with the other back-ends as well.  VC always presented a
uniform UI and user experience with all back-ends, as far as possible
and reasonable.  In this case, I think automatically marking the
conflicts as resolved makes a lot of sense, but I won't object to make
it opt-out, as long as it's done for every VCS that can support it.
