Thanks for the code and the hints. I haven't tried it out yet, but I
see now that the error with magit is caused by calling invisible-p,
which doesn't seem to exist. (Maybe I should try emacs out with magit
to see if provides something over what I get with git.el now.)

Yeah, I did find some version of sdiff, but it seems the api that git
expects wasn't what sdiff provided. I didn't investigate further, but
I do intend to, since merge conflicts do happen to me once in a while.

I think I did report it, but I'm pretty sure I also have an account on
the bug tracker so I failed in my responsbility to file the bug there
as well. :-( I'll do that soon.
