Is there a situation where checking for TREESAMEness before
simplification
is desirable and checking after would not be?

When you do not want to see a side branch that does not contribute to

the end result at all, obviously ;-). Outside that situation, before or
after should not make a difference, I would think.

In that case, you wouldn't be using the --full-history flag at all, yeah?

Yes. In case my tongue-in-cheek comment was too obscure, I was saying that
I do not think the change to TREESAME-ness check you were alluding to would
break any use case I would think of off the top of my head.

We of course might discover undesired consequences in unexpected corners
after we try your change, but I do not think we can discuss such corner
cases further without seeing a patch.
