If the exact same patch is applied, then git is clever enough not to make a 
conflict on a subsequent merge/rebase.  If the patch needs to be altered 
slightly to apply it to the v6 branch (e.g. if variable names or indentation 
have changed slightly on the v6 branch), then I think git will mark it as a 
conflict on a subsequent merge/rebase, but such cases are usually trivial to 
resolve.
