I think the confusion will happen no matter which scheme we choose. I
think the idea that we can know which version will come from what
branch is a fallacy, because the original intent can always be
thwarted by later decisions, based on situations no one can predict.
I understand the rationale behind trying to record in the bug where it
is solved, but I don't think that goal is achievable in practice.
