This enables the user to set a couple of additional options for merge. 1. merge.aggressive - this is to try to resolve a few more trivial merge cases. It is documented in read-tree and is not something you can pass into merge itself.
2. merge.renames - this is to save git from having to go through the entire 3 trees to see if there were any renames that happened. For the work item repro that I have been using this drops the merge time from ~1 hour to ~5 minutes and the unmerged entries goes down from ~40,000 to 1.
