Is there any change to include real 3 way merge to next release? I think
one could include a new command "msg3way" as a point release instead of
waiting for next major release because none of the existing users are
expecting any behavior from such a command and not even Debian
distributes any command called "msg3way". As such, there's no problem
including a new command with gettext distribution. I'd personally prefer
it called "msg3waymerge" or even "gettext-3-way-merge" but any name is
better than having no tool at all.

The original repo seems to have vanished. I published my copy of the
