A diverged `sync` and a clean `branch merge` commit on the caller's behalf and stamp `created-by` with the connecting identity. A client that connects as an account id rather than a user name cannot name the author, as it can for a plain commit through `commit_with_metadata`. Carry the same key/value/format triple through `SyncOptions` and `MergeStartOptions` into the auto commit. Empty metadata changes nothing. Signed-off-by: Jochen Hunz <j.hunz@anchorpoint.app>
