One consequence/challenge of working with lots of forks: you develop a heatmap of the areas of your code most likely to have merge conflicts. I feel a very tangible pain now any time I have to touch something within 3 lines of the place where I set the window title. Every fork has a different window title, and the idiosyncracies of text-based diff guarantee every fork will flag a spurious conflict.
Hmm, perhaps I should start surrounding such lines with 3 empty lines..
