[RFC] - New option to resolve conflicts on merge/resolved commands

On IRC, dlr, epg and myself were discussing merge.  Eric, mentioned
that he wished we could do svn resolved --accept=mine | yours | orig.
This would resolve the conflict by selecting the file specified in the
option.

He later went on to suggest that the same option could also be added
to the merge command.  This situation would most likely be used by
automated merge scripts.

I think this seems like a great idea, even if we only did it for
resolved.  I am just looking for some general +1's so I can file it as
an issue in the tracker.  Of course, if someone thinks this is a bad
idea, then even more important to speak up.

Oh, I'm *so* +1 all over that.

Well, i don't know about those other two options, but i've always
wanted this --accept option on all commands that might merge
(checkout/update/switch/merge i think?).

I probably don't have voting rights, but that never stops me. A big +1 here.

    SVK gives a similar option on any update -- it interactively asks
you whether to use "mine", "theirs", "spawn default merge app now", or
"save revision-numbered file for merge later" (I'm paraphrasing of
course).  I'm not suggesting constant interactive updates like this
(it's actually a little annoying), but I would like to be able to call
"svn up --mine-always ...", or something of the sort. There are many
occasions that I know what I want ahead of time, iff conflicts arise
upon update. These are the same occasions that I hate having to do 1
or more additional "resolve" steps.
