Oooh dear. Yes.

We originally used -E. Then we (unthinkingly) switched to -A in order
to show all three sources when there is a conflict. We didn't realize
that this would show even overlapping but non-conflicting changes as
conflicts.

If this is the effect of -A, I agree: we should switch back to -E.

Opinions?
