Re: [PATCH 07/12] merge-tree: support including merge messages in output

> From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>
>
> When running `git merge-tree --write-tree`, we previously would only
> return an exit status reflecting the cleanness of a merge, and print out
> the toplevel tree of the resulting merge.  Merges also have
> informational messages, ("Auto-merging <PATH>", "CONFLICT (content):
> ...", "CONFLICT (file/directory)", etc.)  In fact, when non-content
> conflicts occur (such as file/directory, modify/delete, add/add with
> differing modes, rename/rename (1to2), etc.), these informational
> messages are often the only notification since these conflicts are not
> representable in the contents of the file.
>
> Add a --[no-]messages option so that callers can request these messages
> be included at the end of the output.  Include such messages by default
> when there are conflicts, and omit them by default when the merge is
> clean.
