[PATCH 00/10] Build in merge

This series is a rewrite of git-merge in C.

I already sent a WIP version of this series, it already worked at that time, but I had numerous internal TODOs in the code.

I also tried to use the internal API wherever it was possible to avoid the expensive run_command() calls.

At the moment I am not aware of any bugs in ugly parts in the code, so I would appreciate if I could get some comments (positive or negative) on it.

And yes, I'm aware that it's already late for 1.5.6, I'm sending it out so that I can work on issues pointed out by others in the meantime.

Thanks.

  Move split_cmdline() to alias.c
  Move commit_list_count() to commit.c
  Move builtin-remote's skip_prefix() to git-compat-util.h
  Add new test to ensure git-merge handles pull.twohead and
    pull.octopus
  parseopt: add a new PARSE_OPT_ARGV0_IS_AN_OPTION option
  Move read_cache_unmerged() to read-cache.c
  git-fmt-merge-msg: make it useable from other builtins
  Introduce commit_list_append() in commit.c
  Introduce get_octopus_merge_bases() in commit.c
