Simplified merge logic
The logic for the merging is somewhat confusing. So I simplified it to
be equivalent. I tested all my changes to ensure in practice they work.
The first thing I did was test out which branch would occur for every
possible value of
remoteheads->nextcommon->nextoption_commitBranchTTTATTFATFTATFFAFTTCFTFC
FFTBFFFAUsing this truth table, I was able to deduce that if the second
branch ran, the if statement for the first branch was false. Taking the
inverse, it was then found many of the checks were redundant, so the if
statement was rewritten to have each branch run under the same exact
conditions, except each value is evaluated as little as possible.
I hope you can approve of this and show me how to send it.
Thank you.

Meh.
Admittedly, readability is somewhat subjective, but a rewrite like
if (condition) if (!condition)
do_when_true(); do_when_false();
else ==> else
do_when_false(); do_when_true();
while it may not be incorrect per-se needs more than a subjective "I
think this is more readable" to justify the code churn.

This may reduce the number of lines, but personally I find that
if (are we editing?) {
if (run editor---did we fail?)
abort();
}
is much easier to read.
And much more importantly, it would be much easier to extend later
what hwppens when we decide to edit, than the new code proposed by
this patch.

Likewise. If somebody _must_ touch this function to gain commit
count without making the code harder to maintain, it may be an
option to use "goto leave;" here and then create a "leave:" label
before the other "return"---at least that may be worth considering,
but not this---when everybody else in the function wants to maintain
that the value in this variable is what is returned from the
function.

Likewise.
if (do we have to choose strategies ourselves?) {
... depending on the case, choose strategy ...
}
is much easier to reason about than
if (do we have to choose strategies ourselves?, oh by the
way, don't forget that already up-to-date case we do not
have to choose) {
... the remainder ...
}
and extend when we need to add something to do in the up-to-date
case as long as the end-user did not specify which strategy to use
in the future. The reduced line count alone is not a good yardstick
to use when talking about code restructuring for readability and
maintainability.
Thanks.

commit: Avoid extraneous boolean checking by simplifying the if statements.
This is so that the code can be clearer and avoid duplicate boolean checks.
Changes since v1: Undid if statement combos as suggested by Junio C Hamano.
The current logic for the merging is somewhat confusing.
So I simplified said logic to be equivalent, but simpler.
I tested all my changes to ensure in practice they work as well.
First, I tested out which branch would occur for every possible value below:
remoteheads->next | common->next | option_commit | Branch
-- | -- | -- | --
T | T | T | A
T | T | F | A
T | F | T | A
T | F | F | A
F | T | T | C
F | T | F | C
F | F | T | B
F | F | F | A
Then, using this truth table, I was able to deduce that if the second branch ran,
the if statement for the first branch would be false.
Then, taking the inverse, I found that many of the checks were redundant,
so I rewrote the if statements to have each branch run under the same exact conditions,
except each value is evaluated as little as possible.
I hope you find value in these changes.
Thank you!
