Today I finally found a moment to test it again after updating
to revision just before the merge. It looks like we didn't do the real
merge. Test merge (aka dry-run) from command line also shows conflicts.
So now my question is: is that normal situation that test merge has
results different from the real one? Is it a bug or is it by design?
I suppose that the conflict in the test comes from properties not being
changed (or written) after the merge of the first revision. Am I right?

I'm aware of that. That was the exact reason of cherry picking. I've taken
all revisions changing this particular file since the last merge.
