The first one is a clean-up of the code to parse command line options to "git merge-base". Options such as "--independent", "--is-ancestor" and "--octopus" are mutually exclusive and it is better expressed in terms of the recently introduced OPT_CMDMODE. The second one implements the entire logic of the for loop we see in "git pull --rebase" directly using get_merge_bases_many() and postprocessing the result.
