[Unison-hackers] identical conflict resolution

[Jerry Haltom]

I would agree, from a purely technical point of view, this is right. But
from a practical point of view, I suspect that in the majority of
situations, it doesn't matter.

I can't think of a reason I would care whether the times were accurate,
as long as the contents were the same.

I will try it with times = false later and see if I get my desired
effect.
