As for now, no, it does not. This is a shortcoming of RCS merge which does 
the heavy-lifting.

Having said that, stay tuned for new developments: the functionality of 
merge is being integrated in git. This opens the door to make use of the 
code tracking support in git, to do exactly what you just proposed.
