[PATCH v5 0/4] merge-ort: implement recursive merges

This series depends on en/merge-ort-2 (it does NOT depend on en/merge-ort-3 and can thus be reviewed/merged independently of it).

This short series adds handling of recursive merges (merging of multiple merge-bases to create a virtual merge base) to merge-ort. With this short series the number of test failures under GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort drops by 801 (from 1448 to 647).

Changes since v4:

 * add an earlier patch in the series that moves reverse_commit_list(),
   as-is, to commit.c. This also shrinks what is now the second patch.

Elijah Newren (4):
  commit: move reverse_commit_list() from merge-recursive
  merge-ort: copy a few small helper functions from merge-recursive.c
  merge-ort: make clear_internal_opts() aware of partial clearing
  merge-ort: implement merge_incore_recursive()
