Actually, not process_entry, but merge_content().
Oddly, that *already* has the check:
if (mfi.clean && !df_conflict_remains &&
oid_eq(&mfi.oid, a_oid) && mfi.mode == a_mode) {
int path_renamed_outside_HEAD;
output(o, 3, _("Skipped %s (merged same as existing)"), path);
but that doesn't seem to actually trigger for some reason.
But the code really seems to have the _intention_ of skipping the case
where the result ended up the same as the source.
Maybe I'm missing something.
