But that's not quite what I need:

I have a month's work, I need to do a bit more work on it _before_
merging, but management is demanding a merge/release.

So, I want to undo, star-merge in $stable, then commit (!), then redo so
I can continue on. Except I want in-file diff3 markers when I redo,
because my change touches hundreds of files.

With so many files, it's a royal PITA to have to manually compare diff
.rej files with originals, locate the appropriate lines in the code, and
cut and paste between the .rej and the original.

Surely this makes sense? Or am I completely missing something?

Hmm, thanks. I see how I go.
