There are merge conflicts that do not result in merge conflict markers: e.g. when one branch extends a function's signature, and another branch adds a caller. In this instance, sg/travis-specific-cc wants to use gcc-8 in the osx-gcc job (which is already installed, but not linked, on Travis' macOS agents), and js/vsts-ci wants to run the tests on Azure Pipelines (where gcc-8 is not installed by default). So this fixup is necessary to fix that conflict. To see that this is necessary, I kicked off a public build and you can see the symptom of the problem here [https://dev.azure.com/git/git/_build/results?buildId=318&view=logs&jobId=51041795-01c5-57f3-5561-107b6b9e51a6&taskId=fadc714a-a906-5cf2-cc7a-335e443ad2f8&lineStart=326&lineEnd=327&colStart=1&colEnd=71] .
