When merging from 3.2 to 3.3 "Misc/NEWS" always conflicts (lately).
Instead of copy&paste the test manually between versions, has anybody
a better workflow?.

Since any change applied to 3.2 should be applied to 3.3 too (except
very few cases), Mercurial merge machinery should be able to merge
both versions except when the changes are very near the version
headers. I haven't checked, but I guess that the problem is that the
different issues have been added in different positions in the file,
so both branches are diverging, instead of only divert in the python
versions referenced.

If that is the case, could be acceptable to reorganize 3.3 version to
ease future merges?. Would that solve it?

Ideas?.
