If I am understanding this correctly, after you pull from "Joe", you
have an extra leaf because Joe's commit caused a fork. And you want
the fork-leaf to be closed after you merge its changes into your
development (FYI, fork-leafs can happen on branches as well as on the
trunk).

To me, this seems reasonable, but then I regard forks as unresolved
conflicts, so other might not agree.

Because any huristic strategy would likely be wrong at least 50% of
the time, I would suggest that an option to the merge command be used
to accomplish closing the leaf during the merge would be a reasonable
enhancement to Fossil.
