Fix 500 when selecting a mirror user

Add detailed explanation of merge options

Closes #257

See merge request !1350

When selecting a mirror user, we do a permissions check, which means
that `@users` is an array, not an ActiveRecord relation.

We also can't use `Array#delete`, because it uses `Object#equal?`, while
we need to be able to take advantage of ActiveRecord objects overriding
`#eql?` and `#hash?` (as `Array#uniq` uses a hash internally).
