Great!

I think the problem is that emacsclient lacks the equivalent of `-f`,
i.e. calling a particular ELisp function where the remaining arguments
can be consumed by that function. That would solve the problem of
quoting (your above script will stumble when encountering
a file name with quotes in it or with a final backslash).

We should be able to add a convenience `batch-ediff-merge-with-ancestor`.
Bonus points if you manage to make it work with `emacs --batch -f` as
well as with `emacsclient --<newflag>`.
