[PATCH 0/5] add a --strategy option to "git cherry-pick"

[Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>]

The purpose of this series is to make it possible to test how "git cherry-pick"
would work with another merge strategy than the recursive one.

Junio suggested:

"It might not be a bad idea to teach a hidden primarily-for-debugging
option to "cherry-pick" to let it use resolve instead of recursive for
cases like this."

The changes since the previous RFC version are the following:

- the commit messages of the first 2 patches have been improved a little,
- some calls to free_commit_list() have been added to the last patch,
- the series was rebased recently on top of next.

Christian Couder (5):
  revert: use strbuf to refactor the code that writes the merge message
  revert: refactor merge recursive code into its own function
  merge: refactor code that calls "git merge-STRATEGY"
  merge: make function try_merge_command non static
  revert: add "--strategy" option to choose merge strategy
