That's great.  Just a few notes regarding the patch.

Why do you list "recur" twice in all_strategies in the git-merge.sh?
The second "recur" should probably be "recursive".

Test for Python in the git-rebase.sh is probably wrong.  "recur" doesn't
need Python - that's the whole point.  In fact, if I build git with
NO_PYTHON, TEST fails in t3401-rebase-partial.sh

Apart from that, the tests pass on i386, x86_64 and PowerPC, all running
Fedora Core 5.

I tries to run sparse of the C files, and it complains about two things
- variable declarations in the middle of the code (allowed by c99 but
not by ANSI C) and incomplete function declarations (no "void").  It's
not C++, let's stick to the C standards.

I'm attaching a patch that fixes everything except variable
declarations.  There are so many of them that it could be done once the
code stabilizes a bit.

It would be great to have a patch that actually removes the old
"recursive" and makes the new strategy "recursive".  I understand it's
the plan, right?
