If you use my read-tree and change git-resolve-script to pass all of the
ancestors to it, how does it do? I expect you'll still be slightly ahead,
because we don't (yet) have content merge with multiple ancestors. You
should also check the merge that Tony Luck reported, which undid a revert,
as well as the one that Len Brown reported around the same time which had
similar problems. I think maintainer trees are a much better test for a
merge algorithm, because the kernel repository is relatively linear, while
maintainers tend more to merge things back and forth.
