[PATCH 00/14] Build in merge

Sorry for the resend, but I again squashed an unrelated hunk to the last patch, so I'm sending the changed patches:

08: Add new test to ensure git-merge handles more than 25 refs. 13: git-commit-tree: make it usable from other builtins 14: Build in merge

I really hope I won't overlook this next time.

The interdiff from the previous version is empty, I just moved that unrelated hunk from patch 13 to patch 08.

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

Miklos Vajna (12):
  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
  git-commit-tree: make it usable from other builtins
  Build in merge
