current merge base selection less-than-ideal?

Hi Aaron, I think we are selecting inappropiate merge base points.

In my branch at http://people.ubuntu.com/~robertc/baz2.0/repository I
just committed a merge from bzr.dev that had many inappropriate
conflicts - where for entire files I was taking the merge source
version.

revision-id: robertc at robertcollins.net-20071004220007-6tb7pyeknkhpnfyq
parent: robertc at robertcollins.net-20071003084403-e8j4dft472ww2ucv
parent: pqm at pqm.ubuntu.com-20071004174812-z1zg35r1vssltydl

find-merge-base claims it would have used:
pqm at pqm.ubuntu.com-20070823005013-ada9x55rc31yiwou

Which is back before 10 other merges of bzr.dev - all of which would
have reduced the conflicts.

Any thoughts?
-Rob
