I'd like this, but behind a command line switch. And in addition to saying 
"cannot merge, blabla needs update", git could spit out "if you want to 
risk a 3way merge, go ahead and add the --preserve-local flag to 
git-merge".

Comments?

Is there really a point for not always doing it?

IOW, if you really want a command line switch, maybe it should be used 
to prevent the above not to allow it?
