Sounds like a good thing to do.

If we missed something in the logic of skip_merge_working_tree(),

This reads a lot clearer, at least to me, than the documentation
update in the previous round, by speaking in terms of what the
user-visible side effect of this setting would be.

Nicely done.  Thanks.
