    merge & sequencer: turn "Conflicts:" hint into a comment · 261f315b

    Just like other hints such as "Changes to be committed" we show in
    the editor to remind the committer what paths were involved in the
    resulting commit to help improving their log message, this section
    is merely a reminder.
    
    Traditionally, it was not made into comments primarily because it
    has to be generated outside the wt-status infrastructure, and also
    because it was meant as a bit stronger reminder than the others
    (i.e. explaining how you resolved conflicts is much more important
    than mentioning what you did to every paths involved in the commit).
    
    But that still does not make this hint a part of the log message
    proper, and not showing it as a comment is inviting mistakes.
    
    Note that we still notice "Conflicts:" followed by list of indented
    pathnames as an old-style cruft and insert a new Signed-off-by:
    before it.  This is so that "commit --amend -s" adds the new S-o-b
    at the right place when used on an older commit.
