I get this when pulling:
... 
Okay, my python is *old*:

$ python -V
Python 2.2.1

Is it worthwhile to include heapq as we did with subprocess? Or should I 
upgrade...

Trying really trivial in-index merge...
fatal: Merge requires file-level merging
Nope.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/raa/bin/git-merge-recursive", line 8, in ?

  File "/home/raa/share/git-core/python/gitMergeCommon.py", line 14, in ?
    import subprocess
ImportError: No module named subprocess
Automatic merge failed/prevented; fix up by hand

That said, I thought an upgrade was worth it and upgraded my 2.3 to 2.4 :)

Something like this is needed, I suppose...
