Issue #899 (of which #1041 is a duplicate) claims to be fixed in
r4096. It sounds like you're seeing a regression? Can you show us a
precise transcript?

Thanks for doing the issue search, by the way, that helped a lot.

Whether there should be a conflict even if the contents are the same
is a matter of opinion. Certainly it wouldn't be wrong to get a
conflict, though it might be friendlier to just silently do a no-op
merge. But what really concerns me is that you're not even getting a
conflict...
