OK.  I do not see qualitative difference between picking a non-merge
and picking a merge; they are both being replayed and it is not like
the machiery is trying to preserve an evil merge.  Having said that,
I do not have a strong feeling either way between keeping and
dropping that "as well".  I threw it in there only to contrast the
preserve mode (where merges are also picked) with the normal mode
(where merges are not picked).
