REVISION SUMMARY
  This series is adding functionality where we can force create a new filenode for
  some files on a merge-commit. This is meant to represent an explicit choice made
  by user and hence distingusing the file in the merged commit with the file in
  parent by creating a new filenode instead of using the parent one.
  
  This introduces a experimental config option under which this functionality
  will be hidden.
