The part that grants Stephen's wish is unchanged from the earlier "perhaps like this" patch, but this time with a bit of documentation and test.
A more important change between the two actually is [PATCH 2/2]. When a "binary" synthetic attribute is given to a path, we used to (1) disable textual diff and (2) disable CR/LF conversion, but it is also sane to disable the textual merge for a path marked as "binary", and setting the "-merge" attribute to summon the "binary" ll-merge driver is the way to do so.
