Hello,

Dscho gave me a detailed review on builtin-merge, so I'm sending an
updated series.

It's based on 49646c5 in git.git, so hopefully it includes all the work
Junio did recently in 'pu'. (PARSE_OPT_ARGV0_IS_AN_OPTION removal, etc.)

Changes:

* "git-fmt-merge-msg: make it usable from other builtins"
  - Small cleanup.

* "Build in merge"
  - When a custom message was given for a merge, the result was not
    identical to the one git-merge.sh had. I added a testcase for this
    and fixed up builtin-merge to pass the test.
  - Memleak fix in restore_state()
  - Cleanup in finish_up_to_date() and squash_message()
  - run_hook() now first checks if the executable bit is set and returns
    immediately if not.
  - Make merge_name() a bit more readable, like *(ptr+1) -> ptr[1]. Also
    fixed a missing initialization in this function.
  - split_merge_strategies(): while (1) -> for (;;)
  - Simplified path_list_append_strategy() by removing unnecessary
    parameters.
  - cmd_merge(): Added more comments to make the code more readable,
    fixed a memory leak, optimized the case when --no-commit is used.
  - merge_one_remote(): Fixed a bug which for example caused a segfault
    when building with -fno-inline.
  - Fixed up color handling when showing the diff after a merge, as
    noticed by Olivier Marin.
  - Fixed up the "Updating foo..bar" message which was like "Updating
    bar..bar", as pointed out by Olivier Marin.

* Dscho's two patches: These introduces strbuf_initf() which can be used
  instead of strbuf_init() and strbuf_addf(). Modified builtin-merge.c
  to use strbuf_initf() where possible.

* Extended t7601-merge-pull-config.sh to make sure git-merge picks up
  the best strategy when no strategy can handle the merge without
  conflicts.

The "interdiff" is available via git diff 49646c5..d1c62b2 in
git://repo.or.cz/git/vmiklos.git.

I'm sending the whole series to avoid complexity, but in fact I only
changed the following patches:

* "git-fmt-merge-msg: make it usable from other builtins"
* "Add new test case to ensure git-merge prepends the custom merge
  message"
* "Build in merge"

Johannes Schindelin (2):
  Add strbuf_vaddf(), use it in strbuf_addf(), and add strbuf_initf()
  strbuf_vaddf(): support %*s, too

Junio C Hamano (2):
  Introduce get_merge_bases_many()
  Introduce reduce_heads()

Miklos Vajna (11):
  Move split_cmdline() to alias.c
  Move commit_list_count() to commit.c
  Move parse-options's skip_prefix() to git-compat-util.h
  Add new test to ensure git-merge handles pull.twohead and
    pull.octopus
  Move read_cache_unmerged() to read-cache.c
  git-fmt-merge-msg: make it usable from other builtins
  Introduce get_octopus_merge_bases() in commit.c
  Add new test to ensure git-merge handles more than 25 refs.
  Add new test case to ensure git-merge reduces octopus parents when
    possible
  Add new test case to ensure git-merge prepends the custom merge
    message
  Build in merge
