   * which have been merged automatically.
   *
   * <p>Using this strategy makes sense if the code owners differ between branches and the code

   * Only files which differ between the merge commit that is being reviewed and the auto merge
   * commit (the result of automatically merging the 2 parent commits, may contain Git conflict
   * markers) require code owner approvals.
   *
   * <p>Using this strategy means that files that have been merged automatically and for which no
   * manual conflict resolution has been done do not require code owner approval.
   *
   * <p>Using this strategy is only recommended, if all branches require code owner approvals and if
   * the code owners in all branches are trusted. If this is not the case, it is recommended to use
   * the {@link #ALL_CHANGED_FILES} strategy instead.
   *
   * <p>Example: If this strategy is used and there is a branch that doesn't require code owner
   * approvals (e.g. a user sandbox branch or an experimental branch) the code owners check can be
   * bypassed by:
   *
   * <ul>
   *   <li>setting the branch that doesn't require code owner approvals to the same commit as the
   *       main branch that does require code owner approvals
   *   <li>making a change in the branch that doesn't require code owner approvals
   *   <li>merging this change back into the main branch that does require code owner approvals
   *   <li>since it's a clean merge, all files are merged automatically and no code owner approval
   *       is required
   * </ul>
