Hi all,

Building on my "Use merge3 for text merging" patches, these patches
1. update the test suite to properly test diff3 merges
2. add support for backing up files prior to performing merges

In the theoretically-impossible case of a text conflict, you'll get many
files:
foo (file with changes and conflict markers)
foo~
foo.BASE
foo.THIS (identical to foo~)
foo.OTHER

However, if anyone can get revert to produce a text conflict, I will be
utterly shocked.

It would be nice to use a different convention for naming backup files,
because files with ~ are ignored by default, so they don't show up in
'bzr status'.
