[PATCH] Replace merge-base implementation

The old implementation was a nice algorithm, but, unfortunately, it could
be confused in some cases and would not necessarily do the obvious thing
if one argument was decended from the other. This version fixes that by
changing the criterion to the most recent common ancestor.
