Let's embarrass you even more ;-)

After 5a2580d, the merge has become very noisy, and I don't see a good
reason for that change.

With a version of git built from 5a2580d^, for example, merging
sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error into maint would give me this:

----------------
$ git merge sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error
Auto-merging remote-curl.c
Merge made by recursive.
 remote-curl.c |    5 +++--
 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
----------------

With 5a2580d, it has become this:

----------------
$ git merge sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error
Adding builtin/add.c
Auto-merging remote-curl.c
Merge made by recursive.
 remote-curl.c |    5 +++--
 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
----------------

And with this patch on top, it will make it a disaster:

----------------
$ git merge sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error
Adding builtin/add.c
... similar 97 Adding lines omitted ...
Adding gitweb/static/gitweb.js
Auto-merging remote-curl.c
Adding t/lib-t6000.sh
Adding t/t7810-grep.sh
Adding t/t9350-fast-export.sh
Merge made by recursive.

Ick.

Interestingly, the new paths I added for additional output are not
being triggered here.  Rather, "normal" renames are being considered
unprocessed (I had a faulty assumption in the previous patch that a
clean merge would have cleared out the higher stage entries in
dst_entry as a side effect).  Because of this, normal renames are
needlessly re-processed in process_entry(), and trigger extra output
as a side-effect.  One could work around this by the following patch,
though it'd be better to just avoid the extra reprocessing.  I'll
submit a better patch in a minute.
