OK, applied it (on top of next), looks sane and improves the situation
for the majority of people who read left to right, then top down and
assign buffers 1 2 3 4 "mentally" to local base remote merge windows
based on that. Their expectation is met now. Thanks!

(Also, the other vim variants don't need a corresponding change.)
