That makes sense. It fits conveniently with the way subversion does
things, too (although subversion attributes are often quite different,
of course). Humans will need to resolve conflicts, presumably, but I
guess mostly that'll involve selecting which lines to keep, so it
won't matter if the file isn't all that easily editable.

I agree. It really doesn't matter much whether the format allows
arbitrary whitespace or stays as it is. What fooled me was the
combination of an odd format and documentation that included an
example which didn't work. Changing either seems reasonable.
