If I understand what you want, you can't do this with Meld without
hacking the source.

However, I'd suggest that Meld is probably not the best tool here; our
merge algorithm is okay, but really you'd be better off using an
actual VC tool to do your merges. Maybe check out `git merge-file`,
which I think does what you want.
