[PATCH 08/14] merge: split reduce_parents() out of collect_parents()

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date

The latter does two separate things:
 - Parse the list of commits on the command line, and formulate the
   list of commits to be merged (including the current HEAD);
 - Compute the list of parents to be recorded in the resulting merge
   commit.

Split the latter into a separate helper function, so that we can later supply the list commits to be merged from a different source (namely, FETCH_HEAD).
