That is what makes it a churn X-<.

More coverage does not have to be tied to turning a sequence of
tests into a loop, moving things around, etc.  Just adding more of
similar things wouldn't have caused such a clash with a possible
mismerge.

But I need to point out that it is recognised as a churn only when
there is an unfortunate topic that wants to touch the overlapping
area at the same time.  If there isn't, such a change would be seen
as a valuable preliminary clean-up ;-)

So, of course, it depends on luck.
