Now I see why it was confusing. Let me explain, the dir1 content
comes from outside. It is basically a dump of the customer key
store.

The customer did an update and sent me the new version.  This was
unexpected, as I from the discussion we had I understood that I was
pretty much the only one working on that. Fortunately, there were
no conflicts; but once copied the new version the mess started
as their dump changed the order of many files even if the content
were semantically the same.

Yes, that's what I am doing. I had a couple of large commits, but
at all things considered it is not a big deal.
