The short answer is smerge --baseless.

Once you've done that, however, push and pull won't work, because they
depend on the copy source. I believe Jesse was looking at providing a
way to override that a while ago, but don't know how far he got.

Other than that, the simplest way to get push and pull working is to
remove and re-copy your local branch after the merge.
