Yes, this approach can help resolve merge conflicts, but a major issue still remains: while resolving these conflicts, the LLM often removes parts of the program's functionality or unintentionally introduces bugs. If we want to scale this system, we need a mechanism to run test cases from both branches being merged, so we can be confident that no functionality is lost during the merge and that the code remains stable.
