What error message do you expect?

Something that recognises that a message like <<<<<<< .mine originates from the project's chosen VCS, and that <<<<<<< is distinct from shl.

A concatenation of the *binary* "<" or "<<" operators, into "<<<<...", doesn't make sense (syntactically), so that the scanner could generate an appropriate error token (or message). Just as in handling "." .. "..." tokens, where more than 3 consecutive dots also are definite syntax errors. AFAIR a check for an fourth dot is not performed by the scanner, and seems not required because the resulting parser error message is sufficient. But a check for a third "<" definitely should be added to the scanner, so that a more specific error message can be issued.
