     Same line does \emph{not} mean the same line number and file name,

    -Contrary to many other merging tools,
    -darcs considers two patches making the \emph{same} change to be a conflict.
    -In fact, darcs doesn't even look at the contents of the conflicting lines.
    -If you think this is wrong, think about two different patches
    -each adding a new keyword and also changing the line
    -``\verb|#define NUM_OF_KEYWORDS 17|''
    -to
    -``\verb|#define NUM_OF_KEYWORDS 18|''.
