[PATCH v1 0/2] add additional config settings for merge

[Ben Peart <Ben.Peart@microsoft.com>]

This enables the user to set a couple of additional options for merge.

1. merge.aggressive - this is to try to resolve a few more trivial
   merge cases.  It is documented in read-tree and is not something you
   can pass into merge itself.

2. merge.renames - this is to save git from having to go through the entire
   3 trees to see if there were any renames that happened.

For the work item repro that I have been using this drops the merge time
from ~1 hour to ~5 minutes and the unmerged entries goes down from
~40,000 to 1.
