Or you missed the contents of the question. The problem Marc brings up
is: what happens if branch and trunk/another branch change the same
line/tokens of code and then those branches are merged. A good vcs comes
up with a conflict, a vcs trying to be too clever merges maybe both
lines creating nonsense code or whatever.

(Well, and the Linux kernel isn't for me a good argument, it's quality
decreased steadily during the last years.)
