+To run the testsuite simply run runtests.py in the topdir.
+
+For each test there is a subfolder in the test dir with folling files:
+* base, local and remote - the 3 files for a 3-way merge
+* merged - the file after the merge is done
+* pot - the corresponding pot file, to get a cleaner picture for sorting and removal context.
+        to create such an file run:
+            msghack --empty remote > pot
+
+you can simply look into the examples and run diff to see what is done.
