Merging a conflict araises

  $ hg merge
  merging A
  warning: conflicts during merge.
  merging A incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
  use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to abandon
  [1]

Correct the conflict without marking the file as resolved

  $ echo "ABCD" > A
  $ hg commit -m "Merged"
  abort: unresolved merge conflicts (see hg help resolve)
  [255]

Mark the conflict as resolved and commit

  $ hg resolve -m A
  $ hg commit -m "Merged"

  $ cd ..
