+merge_failure: "Rename/rename conflict on story file: master moved it to 4_merge/ while the feature branch has it in 2_current/. The auto-resolver cannot handle rename/rename conflicts. The story file needs to be resolved manually (likely by accepting the 4_merge/ location on master and removing the 2_current/ version from the feature branch), then re-triggering the merge."
