checkout -m: attempt merge when deletion of path was staged
twoway_merge() is missing an o->gently check in the case where a file
that needs to be modified is missing from the index but present in the
old and new trees. As a result, in this case 'git checkout -m' errors
out instead of trying to perform a merge.
Fix it by checking o->gently. While at it, inline the o->gently check
into reject_merge to prevent future call sites from making the same
mistake.
Noticed by code inspection. The test for the motivating case was
added by JC.
