Ah, I misremembered.
We've addressed the "binary files" case back in 2012 with a944af1d
("merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to binary ll-merge driver",
2012-09-08). I do not know offhand if it is just as easy to plumb
the MERGE_FAVOR_{OURS,THEIRS} bits thru the symbolic link codepath,
like that patch did to the binary file codepath.
