Request: provide option for bamCoverage to not merge contiguous bins having identical counts

[malcook]

I see your proposed workaround for #907

However, I'd like to chime in on the how useful having the option to NOT merge such bins would be to an ATAC-Seq workflow which desires to compare read-counts in bins across samples in fixed width bins.

Thanks for your consideration.

I would also like to have this feature. Because for me when generating bigWigs with 1bp bins, it causes a lot of inconvenience. Having an option to do this rather than edit the code regularly for different use-cases would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for the consideration

Hey, Have you solved the problem? I have met the same problem I would much appreciated it if you could give any suggestions!

You could see the work around which has been proposed by @dpryan79 at #907

I support adding this feature as well... its problematic for graphing multiple samples when they don't have an equal number of bins due to merging.

I would also really appreciated to have this as a proper feature.
