That's correct.  If you do a merge, get conflicts, then do another merge
--force you can get a big mess with multiple conflict markers.  It's
possible you could resolve it by hand, and it's even possible in the
future we could make it smarter about inserting n-way conflicts, but for
the moment resolving one at a time seems to be enough.
