Let's say we have a simple history like this:
```
B C D
\|/
A
```
Branch `main` initially points to commit B. Two concurrent operations
then move the branch to commits C and D. When the two concurrent
operations get merged, the branch will be recorded as pointing to
"C+D-B". If a subsequent operation now abandons commit B, we would
update the "removed" side of the branch conflict. That seems a little
dishonest. I think the reason I did it that way was in order to not
keep B visible back when having it present in the "removed" side would
keep it visible (before 33bf6ce1d5).
I noticed this issue while working on #241 because
`test_import_refs_reimport()` started failing. That test case is
pretty much exactly the case above.
