I want to implement the same outward facing API as found within
merge-recursive.h in a different merge strategy. However, that makes
names like MERGE_RECURSIVE_{NORMAL,OURS,THEIRS} look a little funny;
rename to MERGE_VARIANT_{NORMAL,OURS,THEIRS}.

merge_options has several internal fields that should not be set or read
by external callers. This just complicates the API. Move them into an
opaque merge_options_internal struct that is defined only in
merge-recursive.c and keep these out of merge-recursive.h.

If opt->buffer_output is less than 2, then merge_trees(),
merge_recursive(), and merge_recursive_generic() are all supposed to
flush the opt->obuf output buffer to stdout and release any memory it
holds. merge_trees() did not do this. Move the logic that handles this
for merge_recursive_internal() to merge_finalize() so that all three
methods handle this requirement.
Note that this bug didn't cause any problems currently, because there
are only two callers of merge_trees() right now (a git grep for
'merge_trees(' is misleading because builtin/merge-tree.c also defines a
'merge_tree' function that is unrelated), and only one of those is
called with buffer_output less than 2 (builtin/checkout.c), but it set
opt->verbosity to 0, for which there is only currently one non-error
message that would be shown: "Already up to date!". However, that one
message can only occur when the merge is utterly trivial (the merge base
tree exactly matches the merge tree), and builtin/checkout.c already
attempts a trivial merge via unpack_trees() before falling back to
merge_trees().
Also, if opt->buffer_output is 2, then the caller is responsible to
handle showing any output in opt->obuf and for free'ing it. This
requirement might be easy to overlook, so add a comment to
merge-recursive.h pointing it out. (There are currently two callers
that set buffer_output to 2, both in sequencer.c, and both of which
handle this correctly.)

The merge_options struct had lots of fields, making it a little
imposing, but the options naturally fall into multiple different groups.
Grouping similar options and adding a comment or two makes it easier to
read, easier for new folks to figure out which options are related, and
thus easier for them to find the options they need.

We provided users with the ability to state whether they wanted rename
detection, and to put a limit on how much CPU would be spent. Both of
these fields had multiple configuration parameters for setting them,
with one being a fallback and the other being an override. However,
instead of implementing the logic for how to combine the multiple
source locations into the appropriate setting at config loading time,
we loaded and tracked both values and then made the code combine them
every time it wanted to check the overall value. This had a few
minor drawbacks:
* it seems more complicated than necessary
* it runs the risk of people using the independent settings in the
future and breaking the intent of how the options are used
together
* it makes merge_options more complicated than necessary for other
potential users of the API
Fix these problems by moving the logic for combining the pairs of
options into a single value; make it apply at time-of-config-loading
instead of each-time-of-use.

write_tree_from_memory() appeared to be a merge-recursive special that
basically duplicated write_index_as_tree(). The two have a different
signature, but the bigger difference was just that write_index_as_tree()
would always unconditionally read the index off of disk instead of
working on the current in-memory index. So:
* split out common code into write_index_as_tree_internal()
* rename write_tree_from_memory() to write_inmemory_index_as_tree(),

Recent addition of "directory rename" heuristics to the
merge-recursive backend makes the command susceptible to false
positives and false negatives. In the context of "git am -3",
which does not know about surrounding unmodified paths and thus
cannot inform the merge machinery about the full trees involved,
this risk is particularly severe. As such, the heuristic is
disabled for "git am -3" to keep the machinery "more stupid but

In commit aacb82de3f ("merge-recursive: Split was_tracked() out of
would_lose_untracked()", 2011-08-11), was_tracked() was split out of
would_lose_untracked() with the intent to provide a function that could
answer whether a path was tracked in the index before the merge. Sadly,
it instead returned whether the path was in the working tree due to having
been tracked in the index before the merge OR having been written there by
unpack_trees(). The distinction is important when renames are involved,
e.g. for a merge where:
HEAD: modifies path b
other: renames b->c
In this case, c was not tracked in the index before the merge, but would
have been added to the index at stage 0 and written to the working tree by
unpack_trees(). would_lose_untracked() is more interested in the
in-working-copy-for-either-reason behavior, while all other uses of
was_tracked() want just was-it-tracked-in-index-before-merge behavior.
Unsplit would_lose_untracked() and write a new was_tracked() function
which answers whether a path was tracked in the index before the merge
started.
This will also affect was_dirty(), helping it to return better results
since it can base answers off the original index rather than an index that
possibly only copied over some of the stat information. However,
was_dirty() will need an additional change that will be made in a
subsequent patch.

Since 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive., 2007-01-14),
we already accumulate the output in a buffer. The idea was to avoid
interfering with the progress output that goes to stderr, which is
unbuffered, when we write to stdout, which is buffered.
We extend that buffering to allow the caller to handle the output
(possibly suppressing it). This will help us when extending the
sequencer to do rebase -i's brunt work: it does not want the picks to
print anything by default but instead determine itself whether to print
the output or not.
Note that we also redirect the error messages into the output buffer
when the caller asked not to flush the output buffer, for two reasons:
1) to retain the correct output order, and 2) to allow the caller to
suppress *all* output.

lacks the name of the merge base on the ||||||| line of the output,
and tools can misparse the conflict hunks without it. Add a new
o->ancestor parameter to merge_trees() for use as a label for the
ancestor in conflict hunks.
If o->ancestor is NULL, the output format is as before. All callers
pass NULL for now.
If o->ancestor is non-NULL and both branches renamed the base file
to the same name, that name is included in the conflict hunk labels.
Even if o->ancestor is NULL I think this would be a good change, but
