I'm pretty sure we all know that. The comparison though is to the
current case, where you just copy files across. A simple merge works
great if your overlay is a copy of the entire tree plus a few commits,
and you want the entire history of changes to every package merged
across. I suspect the more common case is a small overlay with no shared
ancestry, where you only want to merge in commits to a single package.
