Yes.

And I found something else that is interesting. I still had 2 pages windows but reduced packedgitlimit to 256kB and re-run the same test to reproduce all merges in git.git. It still did not fail, but it took even shorter wallclock time (again, it is only 3 seconds or so out of 5 1/2 minuts, so it is probably statistically insignificant).
