It was a bit sad since we use scripts to do the merge, then we can
check the conflict list in the log message, and assign to separate
owners to resolve them.

Would it be possible to make it as an config option?

If a script is doing the merge, then I guess you can let your script add
the entry in .git/MERGE_MSG (based on something like 'git ls-files -u'
or 'git status --porcelain | grep ^U'). This way, your script would work
with any version of Git.

Having a config option to restore the old behavior would make sense to
me at least. I guess it falls in the category "patches welcome".
