Excited ;-)

Unless you do so manually, the native "octopus" backend does not let
you create non-trivial merges anyway, so punting on them should not
be a big loss.  Falling back to --cc might be a usable alternative.

OK.  I am not sure if it is worth doing the "temporary objects"
trick, though---would it risk repository corruption if somebody is
creating a new blob that happens to be identical to the one that is
involved in the remerge operation at the same time, or there is no
visibility of the temporary area to these "somebody" outside so
there is no risk?
