Wouldn't this be more readable, short and sweet?

    merge "$src2" "$orig" "$src1" || {
        echo Leaving conflict merge in $src2 && exit 1
    }
    cp "$src2" "$4" && exec update-cache --add -- "$4"

You did not want subshell so I just changed the () pair to the
{} pair, and while I was at it I folded the "&& exit 0" into the
last command before it, which should be better.  You'd want to
know if update-cache --add failed for whatever reason.
