UPDATE: this is now based on ag/merge-strategies-in-c to avoid conflicts in
'seen'. The changes in builtin/rm.c still conflict with
mt/rm-sparse-checkout, but that branch seems to be waiting for a clearer
plan on some corner cases. I thought about ejecting it, but 'rm' still uses
ce_match_stat(), so just dropping the patch gives less of a final stake at
the end of the series. (I'm still open to it, if necessary.)

I haven't read this latest iteration myself yet beyond the cover
letter, but tonight's 'seen' has this queued near its tip.  I expect
it would either stay there or occasionally ejected, until the base
topic solidifies a bit more.

Junio,

Please drop this series for now. I'll be introducing a new series soon
that will collide with it and this is a lower priority.

I'll probably come back to revisit removing these macros, but I'll do
so one builtin at a time when others are not modifying them at the
same time.

Thanks,
