python 2.2.1 is perfectly capable of executing git-merge-recursive,

heapq.py and sets.py from python 2.3 or newer, and drop them in your
GIT_PYTHON_PATH. 

Fair enough.  But I do not think we would want to go further
than this.  Especially, shipping a copy of heapq and sets like
we did for subprocess.

Thanks anyway.
