[PATCH v3 0/3] merge-ort: implement recursive merges

["Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This series depends on en/merge-ort-2 (it does NOT depend on en/merge-ort-3
and can thus be reviewed/merged independently of it).

This short series adds handling of recursive merges (merging of multiple
merge-bases to create a virtual merge base) to merge-ort. With this short
series the number of test failures under GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort drops
by 801 (from 1448 to 647).

Changes since v2:

 * rename local var from 'next' to 'previous' to make reversing logic
   clearer (as suggested by Stolee)
 * employ MAYBE_UNUSED modifier on new functions as better way to avoid
   unused-function errors (as suggested by Johannes)

Elijah Newren (3):
  merge-ort: copy a few small helper functions from merge-recursive.c
  merge-ort: make clear_internal_opts() aware of partial clearing
  merge-ort: implement merge_incore_recursive()
