Yes, this isn't so bad, seems reasonable, and is not terrible to
implement. It wouldn't be a whole merge state like you get with hg
rebase and hg merge, but I think the rest of it could be done.

I won't promise that I will do this myself, but it's a reasonable
feature request. Let's throw it in the bug tracker.
