My point is that this set of commits is essentially "make
--diff-merges=on a synonym for --no-diff-merges", so it should only
include the same test(s) that exist for --no-diff-merges.

If new tests are to be added, they should have been added before the
series, or after them, with their own reasoning, I think. Yeah, not a
big deal, just a bit of perfectionism here.
