Good.
There's also a related problem which I've hit last month or so, where one
view has the same file (or at least one with the same name) added to both
sides of the branch, but the other view doesn't.
Unfortunately, that can happen to both branches independently, so you
really need to choose a merge base per file instead of globally. I suspect
that many of the problem cases simply go away when you do that.
