Hi Neil,

We don't fix these kinds of bugs in the 1.6 series anymore.
The 1.6 series receives only security or data corruption fixes.

By code inspection I would guess that 1.7 has the same problem, however.
Can you confirm that? If so, please file an issue. I believe there might
be a bug where the merge compares a version of the file with keywords
expanded to a version of a file with keywords contracted. I don't have
time right now to dig deeper so it would be great if you could help by
confirming that the same problem exists in 1.7. Cheers!
