Configuring a Merge program

+ It should be emphasized that Mercurial by itself doesn't attempt to do a + Merge at the file level, neither does it make any attempt to Resolve the conflicts. + + By default, Mercurial will use the merge program defined by the HGMERGE environment + variable, or uses the one defined in the mercurial.ini file. (see MergeProgram on the Mercurial Wiki for more information)
