emacs 21.  The two times I've saved the file after merge, emacs asked
which charset was the correct one.  The first time, it guessed UTF-8
correctly, so I did nothing else.  The second one, though, it said
a different thing ("mule-something" maybe?), so I manually changed it
to UTF-8... (hoping it was the correct thing to do).

Dunno what I did incorrectly; sorry :(  Maybe I have to set some
special variable in emacs?

Cheers,
