Description

IW#maybeMerge calls the MergeScheduler even if it didn't find any merges we should instead only do this if there is in-fact anything there to merge and safe the call into a sync'd method. In addition to this we never respect the newMergesFound parameter. It seems unnecessary and can be removed.
