P.S.: Pavel, thanks for the "A dedicated programmer with good C and Python
skills could rewrite git-merge-recursive.py in C in 2 days, I believe. Add
a few days of bug fixing, of course." underestimation. I do not know if I
had started fiddling with it if I had known how involved it is.
It indeed _is_ involved, and not just C vs Python but the latter
being able to rely on multiple processes without worrying about
state clean-ups.
I am quite impressed by and happy with the merge-recur work.
