The post "All about clone conflicts" is my response. Imo, the only
thing dangerous about Leo is deliberately ignoring Leo's warnings.

As I said in "All about clone conflicts", this is never going to
happen.  Leo's read code is already too complex. Trying to guess what
the user wants will make it much more complex, and therefore less
reliable and more difficult to explain.

Put it another way, there *already is* a way to specify explicitly
which branch of the outline is the "canonical" branch: it's the last
branch in the outline that contains the clone.
