single_copy doesn't make sense for GatherMerge, because the whole
point is to merge a bunch of individually-sorted output streams into a
single stream.  If you have only one stream of tuples, you don't need
to merge anything: you could have just used Gather for that.
It does, however, make sense to merge one worker's output with the
leader's output.
