It probably doesn't matter in the real world.

At the moment, I'd blame annotate for being wrong, I know it does the wrong thing on some merges, and I had a plan to try to fix it, but I got distracted by finding a new job and moving across the country, so I haven't really had a chance to fix it, something to look at shortly, I hope. (I'm having problems getting one of my machines back up, so that's going to slow me down slightly)
