That is what makes it a churn X-<. More coverage does not have to be tied to turning a sequence of tests into a loop, moving things around, etc. Just adding more of similar things wouldn't have caused such a clash with a possible mismerge. But I need to point out that it is recognised as a churn only when there is an unfortunate topic that wants to touch the overlapping area at the same time. If there isn't, such a change would be seen as a valuable preliminary clean-up ;-) So, of course, it depends on luck.
