This is an idea that "Refactoring Browsers" try to address, but I haven't heard of anyone trying to hook one up to a version control system to resolve conflicts. They are usually designed the other way around: user hits the "add parameter to function" button and the browser changes the function and all its callers to match.

It's incredibly hard to do for C, though, because of the preprocessor.
