A bit of confusion on my part, failing to recognise the difference
between catch-up merge and a cherry-pick merge. Cyclic catch-up merges
can lead to conflicts due to merge tracking limitations, and the
transitive mergeinfo doesn't really help. But I can see that for
cherry-pick merges the transitive mergeinfo will probably be useful in
more cases.
