Mergiraf: Syntax-Aware Merging for Git(lwn.net)

Very impressive enhancement. Not a panacea though. It uses tree-sitter approach to solve situations when two users change the same line of code. For example one change function name and other adds a new argument. It will merge it without conflicts. It still has some troubles to solve complex issues, without knowing author intensions. But can significantly simplify developers' lives. Not sure if it would land into git very soon. It requires all git to know all the parsers you need. But definitely worth adding.

This is a seprate tool that one can tell git to use.
