[PATCH] merge-recursive: Small code cleanup

[PATCH] merge-recursive: Small code cleanup

[Elijah Newren]

process_renames() had a variable named "stage" and derived variables
src_other and dst_other whose purpose was not entirely clear to me.  Make
the name of stage slightly more descriptive and add a brief comment
explaining what is occurring.

Was previously PATCH 2/3 from my "fix resolvable rename + D/F conflict
testcases" series, but I've pulled this patch out since it's not
strictly related.  Also, due to Ken Schalk's response, I've dropped
the piece of the patch he pointed out an issue in.  So now it's just a
smaller cleanup, that is now based on maint.
