Auto merge all commits to a branch to the trunk of a project. So the
idea is to keep the branch and trunk in sync, taking off the merging
responsibility from developers.

Yes Tyler, I know the inherent problems with it but this has been
decided based on two assumptions.

1. Probability of a conflict is low.
2. Cost of a conflict is low than the cost of not getting a commit
that does not conflict to the trunk.
