If the merge turns out to be simple, then Git will do the correct
thing; however, if the first version of the patch is applied, then
some changes around the same area of the file occur _then_ when the
second version (of the same patch differing only by SHA1) is applied
Git will get confused.  If it has the same SHA1 however, Git will
discard it as 'already applied'.  This is the reason we pass around
shared tags to immutable branches.
