First, it refactors `concat` so that non-concatenated variables are passed to merge. `concat` gains a `compat` kwarg which tells merge how to merge things. `concat`'s previous behaviour was effectively `compat='equals'` which is now the default. 2. Also adds `compat=""override""` to skip equality checking in merge. concat's `data_vars='minimal'` and `coords='minimal'` options are now more useful because you can specify `compat='override'` to skip equality checking and just pick the first one. Previously this would raise an error if any of the variables differed by floating point noise. - [x] xref #2064, closes #1823 - [x] Tests added - [x] Passes `black . && mypy . && flake8` - [x] Fully documented, including `whats-new.rst` for all changes and `api.rst` for new API ","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/3239/reactions"", ""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 1, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 1, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,,13221727,pull
