I suppose it's yet another quirk I've got used to -- "recursive"
refers to the merge strategy that was used; see git-merge(1). We can
definitely make the Porcelain say something nicer like `merged
successfully using "recursive" merge strategy`.

Patches are welcome: see Documentation/SubmittingPatches :)
