next: move some code to prepare for `next --evolve` by default Moved some values before the block where we suggest the user to use --merge flag. As we would need these values to find if we need to evolve or not before we can suggest user to use `--merge` flag. We will suggest user to use `--merge` flag only when we don't need to evolve. Because currently we don't support both --evolve(going to be True by default) and --merge at the same time.
