> As such, my reasoning when I wrote that module was to group circular conflicts and unordered conflicts under the same “can’t find an order” type of conflicts. I knew about zombies, but didn’t really think about them. They might deserve their own thing: if you record a file with zombies, the zombies will get alive.

I think it depends on how you’re supposed to deal with each type of conflict. One thing is for different types of conflicts to exist, but if the method of dealing with them is always “you see a conflict, resolve it by flattening and recording it”, then they might as well be presented as the same.

If zombies should be handled differently, then they should also be presented differently.
