I never use it, so unless I started it by typo, I don't think I started it.
And ISTR it happened more than once.

I don't know how to provoke a conflict intentionally.
I'd have to ask someone to install a patch that conflicts
with something I want to install.  However, doing that in
a Git repo where it will be impossible to remove later
seems like a bad idea.

Can someone help me create a conflict to test handling it?
