This changes merge-recursive to still warn but do the "binary"
merge for such a path; leave the "our" version in the working
tree, but still keep the path unmerged so that the user can sort
it out.
Very nice.
Forgot to ask. I did this because you had trouble on #git
yesterday and then at around the same time today somebody else
had the same issue. Did this patch solve your problem? I do
not think this has big risk of regression, but if it does not
help anything there is no reason to put it in 1.5.3, so I am
asking for a success report.
