Yes, users should never see this. If it happens, it's a bug in the
program. But the program needs to abort the merge because it's a
situation it is unlikely to recover from.

I've merged a fix for the missing '%s' in the "already exists" error
message into the branch. So you should now see which file is causing
the double tree conflict during the merge, with latest 1.6.x-r38000.
Thanks for catching this!
