Ah, I remember now, it was more complex than a textual conflict.

Dan added an entirely new function here:

http://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax.git/commitdiff/c2a7d2a115525d3501d38e23d24875a79a07e15e

which needed to be converted to XArray. So I should have pulled in his
branch as a merge somewhere close to the end of my series, then done a
fresh patch on top of that to convert it?

It would have been pretty ugly because he modified a function I deleted.
I might try it out just to show how bad it would have been.
