Specifically if the first parent is an ancestor of the second parent, the conversion will identify the situation and apply the workaround. But, if instead the second parent is an ancestor of first parent, it's not detected. The first case is quite commonly achieved by merging a branch into the current branch using --no-ff, but the second seems rarer. The same workaround should apply fine in both cases however.

Looks good!
