This command uses a custom version of string list when it could

and reduce the code size a bit.
    

Thanks, although the above is a bit unfair.  Back when 00449f9 (Make
git-fmt-merge-msg a builtin, 2006-07-03) was written, there was no such
thing like string-list (nor path-list, its predecessor).
