It was not apparent that the changes to diff_tree_combined_merge()
was correct without looking at both of its callsites, but one passes
the .dense_combined_merges member, and the other in submodules
always gives true, which you covered here:

I briefly wondered if there can be any unwanted side effects in this
particular codepath that is caused by setting rev.combined_merges
which was not set in the original code, but seeing that this &rev is
not used for anything other than diff_tree_combined_merge(), it
should be OK.

Also I wondered if this is leaking whatever in the &rev structure,
but in this call I think rev is used only for its embedded diffopt
in a way that does not leak anything, so it seems to be OK, but I'd
appreciate if submodule folks can double check.

Thanks.
