I have not thought about remote issues at all, other than the
distribution mechanism vaguely outlined in my previous mail (not
cc'ed to git list but I would not mind if you reproduced it here
if somebody asked), so I am not qualified to comment on that
part of your message.

BS> Is this a bug or a feature?
I would call that a feature in that there is no need to look at
intermediate state. I also might call that a misfeature in that
it may have resulted in a better merge if it looked at
intermediate state.
I just have this fuzzy feeling that, when doing this merge:
A-1 --- A-2 --- A-3
/ \
Common Ancestor Merge Result
\ /
B-1 --- B-2 --- B-3
looking at diff(Common Ancestor, A-1), diff(Common Ancestor,
B-1), diff(A-1, A-2), ... might give you richer context than
just merging 3-way using Common Ancestor, A-3, and B-3 to derive
the Merge Result. It might not. I honestly do not know.
BTW, Pasky, the above paragraph is my answer to your question in
the other message <20050414202016.GC22699@pasky.ji.cz>:

Pasky> Could you be more particular on the richer context etc?
