I think you've illustrated a case for graphical merge resolution tools, i.e. run git mergetool to help resolve the conlicts. It will run a graphical tool for you.

The list seems to be: kdiff3 kdiff3 tkdiff xxdiff meld gvimdiff opendiff emerge vimdiff

None of the tools can run blame in the merge tool also. That would be nice.
