The 2-URL merge algorithm determines if the two URLs ("left" and "right")
are ancestrally related. If so (that is, if there exists a common ancestor
"ancestor"), merge recording is enabled for the merge. The recorded
mergeinfo is as follows:

      the reverse-merge of the diff between "ancestor" and "left"
    + the merge of the diff between "ancestor" and "right"

So let's start with: "Does this match what you see in your scenario?"
(I've not yet read your extensive script or its output yet.)

From there, we can move on to: "Is this expected-but-still-braindead?"
