Let me make sure I understand you correctly before I go

_successful_ by merges that:

    (1) "git-remove-tree -m" considers them trivial;

or
    (2) in addition to (1), "git-merge-one-file-script"
        considers them trivial.  That is, only one-side changes
        or removes or adds it, or both sides adds it
        identically, or merge/diff3 merges without conflict.
(2).

But in the more general case _any_ automated merge is the "uninteresting" 
case (except for the fact that we hope for them ;)

In other words, I want this case really designed for the situation where 
automation (_any_ kind) breaks down.
