Quoting Junio:

By definition, adding anything at stage #0 is to remove higher stages.

Could one leave 1 alone but still mark the conflict resolved?

Well, I'm not defending current behaviour, just describing its
implementation.

Yes, sure. That's why I wrote "cheap": --unresolve simply reads HEAD and
MERGE_HEAD. Resetting 1 requires (re)calculation of the merge base.
