        Hi all,

This issue has been bothering me for weeks, because I couldn't think of a proper way to fix this.

I think this patch (improved by r1588778) resolves the issue, but I would welcome reviews.

If possible I would like to see this issue fixed in the next 1.8 and 1.7 releases as this issue allows breaking merge tracking by overwriting node properties without a proper out of date check.
