Branch1Tag in my case happens to be the same as the head of Branch1.
The problem with merging two branches together (in my case Branch1 and HEAD)
is that if you intend to merge the braches together multiple times, you do
have to keep track of the last point you merged with the other branch.

Are you suggesting that if I check out Branch1Tag, that the -kk option will
work as expected?

I believe that in my case if whether or not I was adding files to Branch1
from HEAD didn't make a difference in behavior.
