Major Description
The DocumentNodeStoreBranch retries merges in two phases. First it retries merges while holding the merge lock non-exclusive and performing sleeps between attempts. If those retries fail the next phase will acquire the merge lock exclusively and perform retries. In the first phase the merge lock is released when the commit goes to sleep, while in the second it is not and may block other commits while sleeping.
DocumentNodeStoreBranch should be changed to release the exclusive lock when the commit goes to sleep.
