It's possible, but I wouldn't think so. Your description above makes it
sound as the the 1.1 and 1.2 versions of that file were never identical.
Depending on the revision numbers of the copies that created the tags,
either 1.2/src/a.java did not exist in r1234, or it did exist and
contains the changes you made to the trunk.
