Dmitry is right: GC affects lots of files, basically, anything that touches a data structure that might be garbage-collected. My experience with merging is closer to Dmitry's, I'm afraid. It's no fun merging, say, the FVAR/WVAR/etc patches with the inline-function patches that I have pending for post-24.2 . It's not that it can't be done -- of course it can -- but it's tedious and error-prone. The FVAR/etc patches and the inline patches are both pervasive, and so have many opportunities to collide with each other.
