[PATCH 2/4] merge-recursive: increase marker length with depth of recursion

[Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>]

When using merge.conflictstyle=diff3 to have the "base version" be shown
in conflicts, there is the possibility that the base version itself has
conflicts in it.  This comes about when there are more than one merge
base, and the merging of those merge bases produces a conflict.
Since this process applies recursively, it is possible to have conflict
markers nested at an arbitrary depth; to be able to differentiate the
conflict markers from different nestings, we make them all of different
lengths.
