Yes, as I said in a separate message, the current D/F detector
code in merge-recursive does not catch this case in t3030 test
and comes to this codepath to write it out:

   The expected result of this test is what I find very iffy.  The
   input trees are:

    * Ancestor has a file "a"
    * Our tree has a file "a", which was modified from the
      ancestor's
    * The other tree has a file "a/c"

   merge-recursive.c::git_merge_trees() calls unpack_trees() using
   the threeway_merge function and what it gets back are stage 1
   and 2 entries for "a", and stage 3 entry for "a/c" (you can see
   it by running "git-read-tree -m $c0 $c1 $c4" instead).  But the
   output from merge-recursive has "a/c" resolved down to stage 0.

   The problem is that process_entry() finds that there is only
   stage 3 entry for that path and decides to resolve it.  I think
   it should do the D/F check and leave "a/c" in stage 3.

The part you quoted is merely working this problem around.
