In a hard error from merge_incore_nonrecursive(), result->clean is
set to -1, which means that ...

... "result.clean is false" is not true here, so we will ...

... come here to access result.tree member, no?

IOW, shouldn't it be more like three-way check,

			if (result.clean < 0) {
				merge_finalize(&o, &result);
                                return error(_("index merge failed."));
			} else if (!result.clean) {
				merge_finalize(&o, &result);
                                return error(_("conflict in index merge."));
			} else {
				... happy path ...
			}

or something like that?
