+Subcase: chaining conflicting rename resolution, with actual merging happening

+
+The "mPQm" and "mQPm" case create a rename tracking conflict on file 't'. We
+add more change on the respective branch and merge again. These second merge
+does not involve the file 't' and the arbitration done within "mPQm" and "mQP"
+about that file should stay unchanged.
