rebifurcation
noun the act of bifurcating a second time, occurring some time after the bifurcated parts had been carefully joined together.
I used this in an email at work today, because I wanted to avoid the rebifurcation of some source code that had been branched off the trunk in our svn repository. I knew it wasn't a real word because of the squiggly red line, but everybody knew what I meant.
It wasn't until later, when someone pointed out that google returns only 22 unique pages for this search term (and 14 of those are in French), that I realized just how neologismy it was.
Oh hang on...
neologismy
adj. having the properties of a neologism.
