Start version is A. B and C are changes to A.
Change B says line 3 is 'cool!'
Change C says line 3 is 'boring!'
If you want to merge change B and C there's a conflict, because one change
says the opposite of the other.

Similar:
Start filename is A .
Change B says A should be renamed to B.
Change C says A should be renamed to C.
If you want to merge B and C what should the filename be? B or C?
