The logic in the code does not have separate criteria for two-parent and
Octopus cases.  Actually Linus talks about "when you have two versions to
choose from, and if the result matches one of them, then it is not
interesting".  In a two-parent merge, you cannot have three or more
possible versions to choose from by definition, can you?
