I see a small problem, but it can be fixed in another patch. git
merge -s <TAB><TAB> the first time when you're not in a git
directory will make git merge -s <TAB><TAB> after never complete
correctly even in a git directory.

Not good.  I think the sanest thing to do is avoid caching the merge
strategy list entirely.  Listing merge strategies takes about 100 ms
here, which is short enough not to be annoying.

I was thinking of adding an option to git merge (like --strategies) to
list the strategies without requiring you to be in a git directory. It
doesn't look that easy at first glance so it might not be worth the
trouble.
