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 v1 (based on review comments from Junio):

 * add documentation on why we reverse the commit_list of merge bases
 * modify the special override for allowing opt->ancestor to be set before
   merge_incore_recursive() and document its rationale

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()
