For those testing this in combination with their work, the expected
failures are these specific tests:

    ./t6423-merge-rename-directories.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 68 Failed: 4)
      Failed tests:  7, 53, 55, 59

Perhaps I'm missing something but why not have [1] below on top of this
series? It makes that test pass in both modes, and means we could
e.g. follow-up by running CI with "ort".

That CI step seems worth doing sooner than later, even if it needs some
GIT_TEST_SKIP for now...

This whole thing was a pleasant read, and helped me catch a subtle
regression in my WIP "mode" work (which I'm now about to submit).

Reviewing this series suffered from the problem you have with writing
code that's clearly good enough: Mostly all I had were minor nits,
suggestions to re-arrange code differently etc.

That being said I'm not all that familiar with the guts of the merge
logic, so I may have missed other issues...
