Since a64d7784e830b3140e7d0f2b45cb3d8fafb84cca git merge doesn't use cpio
anymore, adapt the documentation.

$ git grep cpio | cut -c1-60
INSTALL:        - "cpio" is used by git-merge for saving and restor
git-clone.sh:           find objects -depth -print | cpio -pumd$l "$G
git-gui/Makefile:INSTALL_A1 = | cpio -pud
git-gui/Makefile:       INSTALL_A1 = && echo '   ' INSTALL '   ' `

So it seems that git-clone still relies on it.

Ciao,
Dscho

BTW, is there a topic-branch somewhere with a reimplementation of
git-clone in C ?
