[PATCH 0/2] merge-tree: batched merges

When a branch is updated, a Git hosting provider may want to check all open code reviews targetting the given branch to determine if those code reviews can still merge cleanly into the target branch. Provide a new --stdin option to git-merge-tree to enable this capability, with each line of input providing the branches for the next merge.

Note: this still requires all the merges to be in the same repository. There
is some code I noticed a while back in merge-ort that implicitly uses
the_repository (indirectly), and there may be more uses that I am unaware
of.

  merge-tree: update documentation for differences in -z output
  merge-tree: support multiple batched merges with --stdin
