Ahh, do you mean if we can avoid doing one half of the 1/4 (i.e. the part that removes the commented out 'diff --name-status') and instead make it a useful example (while still removing the thing that comments out the "conflicts:")? After going back and checking 1/4, I realize that I misread the patch. you did keep the commented out 'diff --name-status' thing, so it still has three---it just lost one half of the original "first" example.
