This is an exact copy of the same function in "merge-recursive.c".

There are two differences here:
- We use `error()` instead of the custom `err()` function that
"merge-recursive.c" uses. I'm happy to see us using standard error
reporting.
- We don't have the check for `num_merge_bases == 1`. I have no idea
why we don't have it, and it's likely that other readers may be
puzzled in the same way. So this is something I'd expect to see
explained in the commit message.
Other than that this function looks identical.

These two hunks look related to my above observation that we don't have
the check for `num_merge_bases == 1`, as in "merge-recursive.c" we used
to set `opt->ancestor = "constructed merge base" if so.
