Obviously this happens when two people notice a fork, independently
merge it, then push the result back.  Presuming the merge is automatic
(or is resolved identically manually), the two merged revisions will
be identical.

Not that uncommon, so you certainly need to support it (or at least
your tool mustn't fall over if it finds that).
