Random is too loose for what was actually committed and I will correct
it. Further down in the same section: "A nice trick to make Mercurial’s
automatic file merge work more smoothly is to put a new entry after the
first or first two entries rather than at the very top. This way if you
commit, pull new changesets and merge, the merge will succeed
automatically."
