+# "check_merge_bases" checks that merge bases are not "bad".
+#
+# - If one is "good", that's good, we have nothing to do.
+# - If one is "bad", it means the user assumed something wrong
+# and we must exit.
+# - If one is "skipped", we can't know but we should warn.
+# - If we don't know, we should check it out and ask the user to test.
+#
+# In the last case we will return 1, and otherwise 0.
