There are times when I need to import patches into a repository, and they don't
apply perfectly cleanly, and 'hg import' fails to merge them, but 'patch
--merge' merges them fine.

Using 'patch --merge', however, is annoying, because then you need to commit
manually as a second step.

It would be great if 'hg import' would try to use the same merge algorithm that
'patch --merge' does.
