Description

I suggest adding a new method, FindMergeBases(), since it changes the return type to IEnumerable.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing libgit2sharp bindings for merge-base operations and compare them with the requested FindMergeBases() entry point. Use the linked Stack Overflow example to clarify the ancestry-path use case; done means the new binding returns IEnumerable and follows the project's existing binding conventions.
