In the past we were considering rotating 90 degrees:

            |
            |-2  youngest common ancestor
            |\
            | \
            |  |
            -  -
            -  -
            |  |
            |  |
          5-|\ |
            | \|
            |  |
            |  |
   trunk  6-|  |-6  branches/branch1
