Perhaps it would be OK to have 

   <<<<<<< TREE (no newline at end of file)

Which reminds me that it might be nice to give more context there;
perhaps saying who wrote those lines and when.  I might add that to
the weave merge later.

The THIS/OTHER files will have the correct content.

I remember CVS doing what we currently do, i.e. putting the conflict
markers on the unterminated ultimate line.
