In Git 2.38, the `merge-tree` command introduced the `--write-tree`
option, which works directly on bare repositories. In Git 2.40, a new parameter `--merge-base` introduced so we require Git 2.40 to use the merge tree feature.
This option produces the merged tree object ID, allowing us to perform
diffs between commits without creating a temporary repository. By
avoiding the overhead of setting up and tearing down temporary repos,
this approach delivers a notable performance improvement.
It also fixes a possible situation that conflict files might be empty
but it's a conflict status according to
