Tony,

First of all let me say a big thanks for the merging fixes in 2.0.30, they
work great. 3 days between problem report to fix is a truly impressive
turnaround time. However... I think I've found another corner case. Sorry.
I'm not doing this on purpose, really I'm not!

Anyway, here's the details.

Main_Dev branch:
Several files, including file.c rev 1.1

New branch from Main_Dev: Branch1
Several files updated, but file.c unchanged. 

Main_Dev:
Several files updated, including file.c being deleted.

New branch from Main_Dev: Branch2

So, the current state of file.c is
Main_Dev: rev 1.2 (deleted)
Branch1: rev 1.1
Branch2: Doesn't exist

Now, if I merge Branch1 -> Branch2 then file.c gets recreated in Branch2. Is
this correct?

I know that explaining it like without all the other changes makes it seem
lie a really obscure thing to do, but this is a very cut down version of
what actually happened.

Thanks,
Andy
