Is it also worth addressing the root cause of this?  After all, it was
git-merge-changelog that created file1 with more than 1 exact copy in the
first place (via the earlier round of merging); it seems like it would be
better for git-merge-changelog to fail with a merge conflict if both
contributors provide an identical entry surrounded by differing context,
than to create a file with duplicate entries.
