6 They'll be single-line conflicts though, which will mean assuming
7 different developers touch different files, git will be able to
8 trivially merge them, because the lines impacted on either sides are
9 unique.

11 Signing both sides of the conflict means you have ~20+ extra lines of
12 conflict that git has to make you choose between, .... where *neither*
13 side is correct, and you have to dispose of the conflicted data
14 manually, and regenerate it from scratch in the middle of the merge.
