Whew, that was a read.

The logic looks good to me, aside from the special case that I don't really understand, but we're not handling it yet.

I appreciate you taking the time to write a thorough docstring, though my suggestion could probably help in simplifying it.

I found that listing the symmetrical cases as separate (B/G, C/H, D/I, E/J, F/K and N/O) rather than the same to be confusing. Maybe just reuse the same letter for each pair?

I'm not entirely sure I understand how sure a case happens.

For example repository have some commit where the *new* node is an ancestor of the node in parent-A

That sounds like a cycle, so I'm sure I'm just confused

parent-A and parent-B are two branches of the same file history, yet not merge-filenode were created

How is that even possible?

They are the same, but we arrive to them from slightly different angle. So I prefer to have a distinct letter for them because you never know what can hide in these angles.

I'm not entirely sure I understand how sure a case happens.

This happened when a bugged client, created a bugged manifest. This is bad, but this happened in the past.

They are no cycle in the filelog history.
