I think the word he had in mind was "coalesce".

As Git users typically have a quite good idea what a "merge" is, I'd 
prefer that word anyway.

I don't like that so much, given that "merge" has quite a specific
meaning.  But not really that fussed.  In this case it's more like a
'gc' or 'repack'; an internal reshuffle of an index to make it a single
one and not many.
