The mergetool "meld" does NOT merge the no-conflict changes, while the
mergetool "vimdiff" will merge the no-conflict parts and highlight the
conflict parts.
This patch will make the mergetool "meld" similar to "vimdiff",
auto-merge the no-conflict parts, highlight conflict parts.

    the mergetool "vimdiff" will merge the no-conflict changes and highlight
    the conflict parts. This patch will make the mergetool "meld" similar to
    "vimdiff", auto-merge the no-conflict changes, highlight conflict parts.
