[PATCH v2 0/4] Beginning of new merge strategy: New API, empty implementation

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

In this series, I try to show the new merge API I have developed in
merge-ort and show how it differs from that provided by merge-recursive. I
do this in four steps, each corresponding to a patch.

Changes since v1 (thanks to Taylor and Peter for the suggestions in their
reviews):

 * Point out in the first commit message that the next three patches will be
   providing example usage of the new API.
 * Rename a variable away from '_' in a way that continues the "private"
   theme.
 * Unswap function comments that were placed next to the wrong functions.

Elijah Newren (4):
  merge-ort: barebones API of new merge strategy with empty
    implementation
  merge-ort-wrappers: new convience wrappers to mimic the old merge API
  fast-rebase: demonstrate merge-ort's API via temporary/hidden command
  merge,rebase,revert: select ort or recursive by config or environment
