Octopus merge strategy did not reduce heads that are recorded in the
final commit correctly.
By Junio C Hamano (4) and Michał Kiedrowicz (1)
* jc/merge-reduce-parents-early:
fmt-merge-msg: discard needless merge parents
builtin/merge.c: reduce parents early
builtin/merge.c: collect other parents early
builtin/merge.c: remove "remoteheads" global variable
merge tests: octopus with redundant parents
Instead of waiting until we record the parents of resulting merge, reduce
redundant parents (including our HEAD) immediately after reading them.
The change to t7602 illustrates the essence of the effect of this change.
The octopus merge strategy used to be fed with redundant commits only to
discard them as "up-to-date", but we no longer feed such redundant commits
to it and the affected test degenerates to a regular two-head merge.
And obviously the known-to-be-broken test in t6028 is now fixed.

This happens when git merge is run to merge multiple commits that are
descendants of current HEAD (or are HEAD). We've hit this while updating
master to origin/master but accidentaly we called (while being on master):
$ git merge master origin/master
Here is a minimal testcase:
$ git init a && cd a
$ echo a >a && git add a
$ git commit -minitial
$ echo b >a && git add a
$ git commit -msecond
$ git checkout master^
$ git merge master master
Fast-forwarding to: master
Already up-to-date with master
Merge made by the 'octopus' strategy.

Ever since v1.7.9.2~13 (2012-02-01), git's diffstat-style summary line
produced by "git apply --stat", "git diff --stat", and "git commit"
varies by locale, producing test failures when GETTEXT_POISON is set.

"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line
"%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form
whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted
unless they are both zero.
This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced
their output, and also makes this line translatable.

Ever since the merge command was made multi-strategy aware, we said

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.
Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or
test_might_fail. The examples in this patch do not require that.

The fast-forward logic is never being triggered because $common and
$MRC are never equivalent. $common is initialized to a commit id by
merge-base and MRC is initialized to HEAD. Fix this by initializing
$MRC to the commit id for HEAD so that its possible for $MRC and
$common to be equal.

Its not very easy to understand what heads are being merged given
the current output of an octopus merge. Fix this by replacing the
sha1 with the (usually) better description in GITHEAD_<SHA1>.

The old shell version handled only 25 refs but we no longer have this
limitation. Add a test to make sure this limitation will not be
introduced again in the future.
