This work does look neat, but..
Try etcmerge :)
It's a bit of a pain to get started with it, but it is a *lot* faster (human 
input wise) than mergemaster. It only asks you about files that you have 
modified rather than ones that have been changed by committers (ie does a 3 
way merge).

It does have problems handling DB files, but that is usually not a big problem 
to fix.
