I'm ok with that, but if so I think it should show the stage somehow, and make it clear that it's unmerged. Maybe by appending something to the name (maybe just a ':' and stage number, but I'd almost prefer the stage number to be translated into something human-readable, so maybe we could have something like

	filename.c^orig
	filename.c^first
	filename.c^second

for stages 1-3 respectively)?

I'll apply your fix right now.
