Looks OK to me.

Everybody else says set_X() but set_none() has nothing to do ther than calling suppress(), so the change does not really make a functional difference (as you said in the cover letter).

Is the idea that the original value in .merges_need_diff member does not matter because in every case it is set to either 0 or 1? Most cases call common_setup() to set it to 1 like this here...

... but this does not touch (in other words, it does not explicitly clear) it, ...

 ... so we still rely on somebody to set the .merges_need_diff
to 0 initially, right?

It is very good to see this one go.

I am wondering how this becomes necessary? Is it because set_to_default() would flip the member to 1 unconditionally, or something? If it weren't for this hunk, the lossage of the previous hunk is a very good clean-up, but if we need to do this, I cannot shake the feeling that we mostly shifted the dirt around, without really cleaning it? I dunno.

We do not need to explicitly set .merges_need_diff to 0 here, presumably because it is initialized to 0 and nobody touched it, right?
