If merging two lines of development involves a rename/add conflict, and two
different people make such a merge but resolve it differently, and then
someone tries to merge the resulting two merges, then they should clearly
get a conflict due to the different resolutions from the previous
developers. However, in some such cases the conflict would not be detected
and git would silently accept one of the two versions being merged as the
final merge resolution.

c94736a (merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename clashes
2009-07-30) added t6036 with a testcase that involved dual renames and a
criss-cross merge. Add a test that is nearly identical, but which also
involves content modification -- a case git currently does not merge
correctly.

c94736a (merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename clashes
2009-07-30) added this testcase with an interesting corner case test,
which previously had cased git to segfault. This test ensures that the
segfault does not return and that the merge correctly fails; just add
some checks that verify the state of the index and worktree after the merge
are correct.

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation. This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.
A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.
