As Hannes noticed, the tip commit is bogus and the configure
test gives the wrong result on platforms with missing or inferior
regex.  Sorry about that.  Replacement is at $gmane/153782.

I was similarly nervous about that.  But as you say, it is always possible
to search through history for the older version.

Administrivia:

 - patch 1 (do not mistake ancestor of tag for branch) is a separate fix.
   It probably should have been sent separately.

 - patch 9-11 (merge-base --octopus, merge-base --independent, and especially
   fmt-merge-msg -m) which expose library functions to scripts might be
   independently useful.

 - patch 24 (merge script: learn --[no-]rerere-autoupdate) requires a
   working rerere --rerere-autoupdate, which means the patch for commit
   672d1b78 (rerere: migrate to parse-options API, 2010-08-05).  I can
   make a more targetted fix if that would be helpful for testing.

I'm happy to drop this series for now; the resulting output is just
not very good.

I am happy to see this get more exposure.  Thanks.

Looks good (and agrees with what I got from manually applying Szeder's
patch on top of the topic).
