It may make sense to kvetch about this as it could well be a mistake
(two conceptually different files added under the same name), it's not
so different from the case of adding an empty file on both branches
and then changing them to have totally separate content.
So I'd just do a degenerate three way merge with the common ancestor
being an empty file.
