Forgot the log message:

[[[
* www/merge-tracking/requirements.html
  (repeated-merge): Explicitly included the multi-directional
  merging use case. Gave the example of merging to/from a feature
  branch.
]]]

Here is the patch again so everything is in one email:

[[[
Index: requirements.html
===================================================================
