Thanks for the reminder/suggestion. Re-reading Ezio's two patches (newsmerge.py and .hg/hgrc additions in msg217079), they appear to jointly automate what I now do by hand (revert to local and dump merge artifacts, replace with edited file with new entries pasted in, and mark as resolved) . I also checked that the current Windows installers make .py files executable, so hg should be able to run newsmerge on Windows. I have downloaded the file and made the additions to my 3.5 hgrc to test next time I have a news entry.
