yeah, we don't merge file contents. it's really hard to do this well, since you'd need to implement something like operational transforms for every different file type, and the cost of getting wrong is really high, since we'd be corrupting users' files.

I can see us perhaps doing this in the future for more targeted file types where the "rebase" behavior is well-defined, though.
