Neither, since they both have the test inverted.  But I prefer to
explicitly use the "-n" operator.

	[[ -n $__git_merge_strategies ]] ||
	__git_merge_strategies=$(__git_list_merge_strategies)

seems as fine as any other spelling to me.  It means "either this
value has already been computed and cached, or we need to compute it".
