Answer 1

Keeping the answer short - In DVCS , since you have a local source control, if something get screwed up in the merge process (which will probably happen in large merges), you can always rollback to a previous local version which has the changes you've made before merging, and then try again.

So basically you can do merge without the fear that your local changes might get damaged during the process.
