This is why I still have the slight feeling of crossed wires, i.e. that we would understand each other perfectly were it not for a little detail. In darcs, given two patches with the same context, whether or not patches conflict with each other is completely independent of the order in which you apply them. As far as I understand darcs, if you can merge one way way without conflicts, you surely can merge the other way as well. Am I looking at this in too narrow a way? For example, maybe the notion of patch context is irrelevant to your view? Anyway, maybe this will be clearer to me as I read your explanation of weights.
