merge-slicing: introduce and use "inheritance point" for merge The first part of the stable sorted list of revision of a merge will shared with the one of others. This means we can reuse subranges computed from that point to compute some of the subranges from the merge. That point is latest point in the stable sorted list where the depth of the revisions match its index (that means all revision earlier in the stable sorted list are its ancestors, no dangling unrelated branches exists). This is a bit expensive to find since we have to walk all the revision, but being able to reuse subranges in all case (not just regular changesets) provide a massive speedup so the cost is worth it.
