Let's embarrass you even more ;-)

After 5a2580d, the merge has become very noisy, and I don't see a good
reason for that change.

With a version of git built from 5a2580d^, for example, merging
sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error into maint would give me this:

----------------
$ git merge sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error
Auto-merging remote-curl.c
Merge made by recursive.
 remote-curl.c |    5 +++--
 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
----------------

With 5a2580d, it has become this:

----------------
$ git merge sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error
Adding builtin/add.c
Auto-merging remote-curl.c
Merge made by recursive.
 remote-curl.c |    5 +++--
 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
----------------

And with this patch on top, it will make it a disaster:

----------------
$ git merge sp/fix-smart-http-deadlock-on-error
Adding builtin/add.c
... similar 97 Adding lines omitted ...
Adding gitweb/static/gitweb.js
Auto-merging remote-curl.c
Adding t/lib-t6000.sh
Adding t/t7810-grep.sh
Adding t/t9350-fast-export.sh
Merge made by recursive.
