Sorry. I didn't even realize people did this. Oops.

This is no big deal.  It would have triggered if you are using
resolve strategy _and_ did a multi merge-base merge, the former
of which is quite unusual these days.

Yeah, ok. I see what's up. 

So no worries.  It was triggered by an error in t1000 test.

[PATCH] Clean-up read-tree error condition.

This is a follow-up to f34f2b0b; list_tree() function is where it
first notices that the command line fed too many trees for us to
handle, so move the error exit message to there, and raise the
MAX_TREES to 8 (not that it matters very much in practice).
