Thanks for the detailed explanation.  It makes perfect sense now.   Certainly, 
a rather difficult task to get right algorithmically.
Many thanks also to all previous respondents.

Thanks for this. It made it easy for me to visualize what is going on -- and no 
debugging was necessary! :)
...
I hope that explanation makes sense.

Perhaps it would make sense to modify the "common ancestor" line in the marked 
up merge file to call it the baseline? Or "BASELINE (often known as COMMON 
ANCESTOR)"? Or something along those lines...
