Ah, understandable.  The 3-way merge machinery may not even have to
work on commit objects (it can merge two trees, using another tree
as the "common ancestor" tree, just fine).

And in such a case, it is perfectly possible there is no "human
readable name"; all there is may be a tree object name.

	sq_quote_buf(&cmd, name1 ? name1 : "(ours)");

or something like that, perhaps.
