Merge Conflict Complexity Estimator

File overlap and edit density between two branches, turned into a conflict-risk score before you merge, not after.

Medium conflict risk - score 41/100

  • 3 of the smaller branch's 9 changed files are also touched by the other branch (33% overlap).
  • Overlapping files average 27 changed lines each - likely spread across different parts of each file.

Heuristic based on file overlap and edit density - it's a signal for when to rebase early and communicate with the other branch's author, not a guarantee.
