This looks pretty good; thanks for the many changes.  One thing is
still missing: you are now building on a commit that adds a --stdin
option to merge-tree, which allows the user to specify what to merge
on stdin rather than via other arguments on the command line.  Since
you're making merge-tree support specified merge base(s), it should
also support that in conjunction with --stdin.  So, see the "/* Handle
stdin */" block and adjust it appropriately.

Once you do that, I think your series will be good to go.
