Most of the time, merges happen automatically.  Manual intervention is
only required when they can't happen automatically. Conflicts always
take (some amount) of a manual work. Merges never do.  I don't see how
you can get around this fact in any system, short of exclusivity.

Looks like you may be confused by terminology. RTFM.
