CVS uses a simple text-based rule to identify overlaps during a merge: there is an overlap if the same line was changed in both versions that are being merged. If no such line exists, then CVS decides there is no conflict and the versions are merged automatically. For example, assume a file contains a class with three methods—a(), b(), and c(). Two developers work independently on the file. If they both modify the same lines of code, say the first line of method a(), then CVS decides there is a conflict. Explain why this approach will fail to detect certain types of conflicts. Provide an example in your answer.
