Side note: that wasn't actually the only problem with that merge.

The other problem was that neither of the merge bases made any sense
what-so-ever. Neither parent was any kind of "this is a good starting
point" for anything. You literally merged two random trees.

So even an explanation isn't really sufficient. You need to start
looking at what you're doing, not doing random crazy stuff.
