tla can use --three-way for star-merge, which will handle such situations gracefully.


Isn't star-merge --three-way using diff3 as the merging tool? AFAIK,
diff3 reports a conflict for this situation (or am I missing some

The threeway algorithm includes:
If the text is tha same in THIS and OTHER, use that text. That is never a conflict.
