I've put up a document on the wiki that gives a brief overview of the

Something similar happens with decentralized development; before
requesting a merge into the mainline, people will merge the mainline
into their branch and commit.  So they will resolve any conflicts.  So
it's quite rare for the person merging into the mainline to get conflicts.
