There is currently no way to resolve a conflict via changes to the filesystem (even after #725 is landed).
We need a specification and documentation as well an implementation (that works alongside the HTTP API introduced in #752).
As a user who has noticed that a file is in conflict, I wish to manipulate the conflicted file to contain the changes I want and finalize this decision by deleting the conflict-marker files.
As a user who has a file in conflict, I will indicate that I want "my" version by deleting all the conflict-markers.
As a user who has a file in conflict, I will indicate that I want "their" version my moving the conflict-marker over top of the original file (and deleting any other conflict markers).

Let us say that we have a file "foo" that starts out with content "initial".
Our side edits it to contain: "meejah was here".
The other side ("yarrow") edits "foo" to contain: "To light a candle is to cast a shadow."
When these two edits collide, our filesystem might look like:
./tiny-texts/
foo
foo.conflict-yarrow
To accept Yarrow's edits, we might use the incantation mv foo.conflict-yarrow foo which does two things at once: makes the contents match Yarrow's side, and deletes the conflict-marker files. To make the final result our content, we can invoke rm foo.conflict-yarrow (deleting all the conflict-markers).
For the most-complex case, we can edit "foo" to contain e.g. "Meejah lit a candle and cast a shadow" and then delete the conflict-marker.
