Remaining issues:

  * There is an inconsistency with what rev ranges get recorded as merged, in a 
file merge vs. a dir merge -- see the comment and work-around in merge_tests.py 
138.

  * Tweak the Summary of Conflicts to use the extended "%d remaining (and %d 
already resolved)" format for all three kinds of conflict iff it uses it for 
any kind.  That would look better and be more plainly understandable, in a 
realistic merge where there will often be more than one kind of conflict raised.

  * Update and switch should work the same way.
