- I always wondered why merge-recursive did not call merge-base, but did
  its own thing. Hmm?

No idea yet.

A somewhat related issue is that when one head is given I'd
strongly prefer that merge-recursive did not call merge-base nor
did its own thing (that is, for the top-level).  Otherwise we
cannot use it for historyless three tree merge that we need for
rebase/revert/cherry-pick.
