Shouldn`t this be easy to solve just by changing the order of <head> 
and <remote>, on passing to `git merge-recursive`, if needed? (or 
that`s what you meant by "simple to fix"?)

At the moment, I think we`d appreciate test cases where it actually 
proves useful, as the general consensus seems to be leaning towards 
it possibly being annoying (over-paranoid).

Nicely spot! I`m glad there`s still (kind of) former U1' == U2' check 
in this approach, too, in case it proves useful :)

Yes, in case where we would want the "no-op merge" check (equivalent 
to U1' == U2' with original approach), this aligns with something I 
would expect.

Note that all the "rebase merge commit" steps leading to the check 
will/should probably be observed as a single one from user`s perspective 
(in worst case ending with nested conflicts we discussed), thus 
`$conflicted_last_merge` is not related to `merge-recursive` step(s) 
only, but `rebase-first-parent`, too (just in case this isn`t implied).

Might be easier to reason about simply as `[ $conflicts = "yes" ] || `

Heh ;) It`s always a bit enlightening when people start from different 
positions, opposing ones, even (or so it may seem, at least), but 
eventually end up in the same place, through means of open (minded) 
discussion.
