From: Andrew Ng <andrew.ng@xxxxxxxx> For a merge with a single strategy, the result of evaluate_result() is effectively not used and therefore is not needed, so avoid altogether. On Windows, this optimization can halve the time required to perform a recursive merge of a single commit with the LLVM repo.
