[PATCH v3 00/13] Declare merge-ort ready for general usage

["Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This series depends on ort-perf-batch-10[1], and obsoletes the ort-remainder
topic[2] (that hadn't been picked up yet, so hopefully this doesn't cause
any confusion)

With this series, merge-ort is ready for general usage -- it passes all
tests, passes dozens of tests that don't under merge-recursive, and
merge-ort is is already significantly faster than merge-recursive when
rename detection is involved. Users can select merge-ort by (a) passing
-sort to either git merge or git rebase, or (b) by setting pull.twohead=ort
[3], or (c) by setting GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort.

Changes since v2:

 * changed the last patch to default testing to ort so people don't have to
   wait until CI for failures (but still keep linux-gcc testing
   merge-recursive so it retains coverage), as suggested by Stolee

config or environment", 2020-11-02)

Elijah Newren (13):
  merge-ort: use STABLE_QSORT instead of QSORT where required
  merge-ort: add a special minimal index just for renormalization
  merge-ort: have ll_merge() use a special attr_index for
    renormalization
  merge-ort: let renormalization change modify/delete into clean delete
  merge-ort: support subtree shifting
  t6428: new test for SKIP_WORKTREE handling and conflicts
  merge-ort: implement CE_SKIP_WORKTREE handling with conflicted entries
  t: mark several submodule merging tests as fixed under merge-ort
  merge-ort: write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict
  merge-recursive: add a bunch of FIXME comments documenting known bugs
  Revert "merge-ort: ignore the directory rename split conflict for now"
  t6423: mark remaining expected failure under merge-ort as such
  Add testing with merge-ort merge strategy
