For what it's worth, I've done git merges for Emacs both with gitmerge.el and
without, and although gitmerge.el is nicer it's not clear that it's worth the
trouble. That is, it should be OK to use gitmerge.el to merge, and it should
also be OK to not use it. Either way, you need to know what you're doing.
