Yeah, our merges that began with "read-tree -m -u" have never merged
into a path with local modification in it, so I have blindly
assuming that (1) is a given.  I think "ort" did not change it, but
quite honestly I do not know where the more recent invention that
renames paths that existed only on one side to follow adjacent paths
that were renamed from the same directory guarantees property (1),
so in these new code paths my assumption truly is a blind faith X-<.
