I don't like "fast merge" because who doesn't want fast merging? It doesn't
convey why that's different from regular merge, or why using this option
may not be always desirable. I also don't think "queue" adds much
information about these flags.

So why not simply:

   - merge
   - untested-merge or testless-merge?
