git merge conflict resolution?

[Joe Perches]

Question about how git does merge conflict resolution.

This patch doesn't really apply, and the results after the
patch aren't what at least I expect.

Patch 1: ====================

On Fri, 2009-09-25 at 01:01 +0000, Linux Kernel Mailing List wrote:

====================

vs the patch that was applied a bit earlier:

Patch 2: ====================

commit efc03ecb9d674588a13aee27289c2af2afe5e6b4
Author: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Sep 21 17:04:27 2009 -0700

    MAINTAINERS: move ARM lists to infradead

====================

Patch 2 was applied before patch 1.

Russell's patch removes the "(moderated for non-subscribers)"
from each entry, yet the final result includes it.

Can someone help me understand why?
