Yes, hopefully it's predictable, but is it the intended one? We don't
know, so there is still some level of uncertainty.

When in doubt, I try to find similar cases. There are two I'm aware of:

1. "git merge" just commits the result when there are no conflicts.
However, it supposedly has been run by the user just now, and thus user
can amend what he gets. That's effectively a stop for amendment from our
POV.

2. When rebasing, "rerere", when fires, stages the changes, and rebasing
stops for amendment. For me "rerere" behavior is rather annoying (I've
never in fact amended what it prepared), but I always assumed there are
good reasons it behaves this way.

Overall, to be consistent, it seems we do need to stop at U1' != U2', at
least by default. Additional options could be supported then to specify
user intentions, both on the command level and in the todo list,
provided it proves to be useful.
