• Simulation/G4Atlas/G4AtlasAlg/python/G4AtlasAlgConfig.py
• Simulation/G4Atlas/G4AtlasTools/python/G4AtlasToolsConfig.py
• Simulation/ISF/ISF_Config/python/ISF_MainConfig.py

@jchapman, I resolved the conflicts manually. Mostly in favor of 24.0, but not everywhere. Could you please confirm that the final resolution looks reasonable to you? Thanks.

@jchapman, here again, I resolved the conflicts in favor of 24.0. @tstreble may not agree with this, though. Could you please have a look at the resolution and confirm that it is OK? Otherwise, please send me your suggestions for further changes. Thanks.
