path_msg() has the ability to mark messages as omittable when recording
conflict messages in an in-tree file. This conflict message file will
then be shown by diffing the merge-created tree to the actual merge
commit that is created. While all the messages touched in this commit
are very useful when trying to create a merge initially, early use with
the --remerge-diff feature (the only user of this omittable conflict
message capability), suggests that the particular messages marked in
this commit are just noise when trying to see what changes users made to
create a merge commit. Mark them as omittable.
Sorry for asking something that may be obvious, but if you recreate
an automated and potentially conflicting merge in-core, in order to
then compare the recorded merge result, is there *any* message that
is worth showing while doing the first step, and where in the output
do users see them?
