changes in this version:
    - Updated comment and commit message as per review.
    - Added another commit implementing optimization logic.
    - added an RFC tag since, if the changes in 2nd commit are
      appropriate, we can apply similar logic in other places as
      well.

The 1st patch looks good.  The 2nd appears to have some problems, as
per comments I left on it -- it might be easier to drop the second
patch and just apply the first.  I don't think merge-recursive is
worth putting much effort into (there's value in providing feedback on
patches by new contributors, because new contributors are valuable,
but there's really not much value in tweaking this particular file),
so I'd advise against adding more patches to this series that
transform more of merge-recursive.
