Add support for merging with ignoring line endings (specifically
--ignore-space-at-eol) when using recursive merging. This is
as a strategy-option, so that you can do:
git merge --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>
and
git rebase --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch>
This can be useful for coping with line-ending damage (Xcode 3.1 has a
nasty habit of converting all CRLFs to LFs, and VC6 tends to just use
CRLFs for inserted lines).
The only option I need is ignore-space-at-eol, but while at it,
include the other xdiff whitespace options (ignore-space-change,
ignore-all-space), too.

Teach the merge-recursive strategy a --patience option to use the
"patience diff" algorithm, which tends to improve results when
cherry-picking a patch that reorders functions at the same time as
refactoring them.
To support this, struct merge_options and ll_merge_options gain an
xdl_opts member, so programs can use arbitrary xdiff flags (think
"XDF_IGNORE_WHITESPACE") in a git-aware merge.
git merge and git rebase can be passed the -Xpatience option to
use this.

Keeping track of the flag bits is proving more trouble than it's
worth. Instead, use a pointer to an options struct like most similar
APIs do.
Callers with no special requests can pass NULL to request the default
options.

Teach "git merge-recursive" a --renormalize option to enable the
merge.renormalize configuration. The --no-renormalize option can
be used to override it in the negative.
So in the future, you might be able to, e.g.:
git checkout -m -Xrenormalize otherbranch
or
git revert -Xrenormalize otherpatch
or
git pull --rebase -Xrenormalize
The bad part: merge.renormalize is still not honored for most
commands. And it reveals lots of places that -X has not been plumbed
in (so we get "git merge -Xrenormalize" but not much else).

ll_merge() takes its options in a flag word, which has a few
advantages:
- options flags can be cheaply passed around in registers, while
an option struct passed by pointer cannot;
- callers can easily pass 0 without trouble for no options,
while an option struct passed by value would not allow that.
The downside is that code to populate and access the flag word can be
somewhat opaque. Mitigate that with a few macros.

Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is
painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files,
even if the only difference between the two versions is the line
endings. Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are
obscured because every line in the file has a conflict.
Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF
checked in (A):
o---C
/ \
A---B---D
B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to
LF-only
C: Modify some of the text files
D: Try to merge C
You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to
merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the
new .gitattributes file.
Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed
through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way
merge. This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same
way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to
normalization.
This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism
and is not necessary for the majority of users. The "merge.renormalize"
config variable enables it.

encounters any such mail. Also provide a configuration setting to
