I'll resubmit as patches.

Although, I can't avoid but note, that whenever my branch is a
strict superset of yours (which I announce) it is invariant
that the merging with you is already done[1], so it is impossible
for some changes to independently exist in both branches.

This, of course, conveniently ignores the fact that there is a
time window, between myself arranging my branch as a superset of
yours and sending you a mail, and you receiving that mail
and deciding to act upon it.

And it is in that time window (arguably narrow), when you might have
introduced potentially conflicting commits.

Did you have that in mind?
