Hi Phillip,

I implemented all of your comments. Patches 3-5, 11 need careful review as they're new. 'merge: teach --autostash option' also probably needs some more review as I've changed the callsites of apply_autostash() and save_autostash().

Alban reported[1] that he expected merge to have an --autostash option, just like rebase. Since there's not really any reason why merge can't have it, let's implement it in this patchset.

The majority of this patchset is spent refactoring. This is so that the actual implementation in merge is done as simply as possible.

Changes since v3:
* Replace 'sequencer: use file strbuf for read_oneliner()' with patches 3-5
* Rename flag to READ_ONELINER_WARN_MISSING
* Add 'sequencer: rename stash_sha1 to stash_oid'
* Many changes to 'merge: teach --autostash option'
Changes since v2:
* Change patch 1 to refer to ASCII order[2]
* Make read_oneliner() accept a collective flags arg instead of two
  separate args[3]
* `git reset --hard` now leaves the worktree clean[4]
* Rebased against 'master' since the base is quite old and a new release is
  coming out soon
Changes since v1:
* Completely changed how the refactoring was done
* More tests and documentation

    -    When `git reset --hard` is run to abort a merge, the working tree will
    -    be left in a clean state, as expected, with the autostash pushed onto
    -    the stash stack.
    +    When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
    +    worktree only in three explicit situations:
    +
    +            1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
    +            2. A merge completes successfully.
    +            3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.
    +
    +    In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
    +    remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
    +    `git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
    +    instead keeping the worktree clean.
