I don't think the ancestry matters in the merge target, only in the
sources. You are merging INTO R2.0, so the relative diff calculated
between FeatureA and R1.0 (I assume that's how you're doing it) works
fine (ie, they have shared ancestry in both merges you perform) and
doesn't care whether R2.0 shares ancestry.
