Eliot et List,

I don't use that VCS feature because I use a different branch model.

Do FileIn handwaving to cherrypick it locally onto the common trunk closest
to the branches, then merge that 1-commit branch into both yours and theirs
to make it a common ancestor. It may be a bit of a pain from a duplicate
change on yours, but if Monticello is at all good it should merge cleanly
if it's a true duplication.
