Hi there,
GIT has a useful merge strategy "git merge -s ours" that always
chooses our current version over the version being merged in. The
resulting merge has exactly the same files contents as its base
parent. The only difference being that the commit merged in is now
added to the list of merge parents.

How to achieve the same effect in fossil??

For those who wonder why do I need such a thing here is a use case. I
tend to commit very often. In order to prevent polluting public
branches I work mostly on private branches periodically merging the
changes (when they are in good shape) into public branches. When
merging private branch into a public one fossil does not record
private branch as a merge parent (and for a good reason!).  Often I do
have a suitable merge parent candidate. How do I trick fossil into
just adding a commit into manifest's  "P" card to make it a merge
parent??
