This is awesome. In addition to the good reasons you gave, switching merge_submodule() to use output() was one of several things on my todo list since I think it'd be needed for remerge-diffs (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/git/issues/detail?id=12) and might be useful for merges in bare repos; thanks for tackling it. Patches look good to me. Having Leif's patch on top of these two would be great. Elijah
