As to why you had a .git/MERGE_HEAD in your tree, it's probably because
your merge scripts haven't kept up with mine.
Nope, I use vanilla latest ones. FWIW my setup is 100% vanilla git plus
two small scripts, 'git-switch-tree' and 'git-new-branch', which switch
around .git/HEAD.
Doing some experimenting, it seems that git-pull-script does not remove
MERGE_HEAD and ORIG_HEAD after its done.
This is reproducible by updating vanilla linux-2.6.git using vanilla
git-pull-script. Just a standard update-to-latest-kernel, with no
conflicts/merges/etc.
