merge: show number of ancestors in bid merge debug notes

A good number of times, we don't generate an action for a file in
manifestmerge() which can result in bid merge doing the wrong thing.

Mentioning the number of ancestors from which we are bidding will help spot such
cases where we are not returning an action.
