So here's a little series. 1/3 I just noted along the way 2/3 splits the merge state writing into parts as a preparatory step. This is something we may want to carry further and get rid of some other places which write merge_msg unneccessarily so that merge performance does not suffer because of the additional write. 3/3 comes with a test now. It's crafted after t7502 and does not work under MINGW, unfortunately. But the fix does :) I'm still asking for comments whether this has other side effects. I've been told there are people who do a lot of merges regularly, and they're not the kind of people that I'd like to make angry - at least not without a good reason.
