[PATCH 08/14] merge_file(): add comment explaining behavior wrt conflict style

In-Reply-To: <20100321002535.GA23681@progeny.tock>

The merge_file() function is a helper for ‘git read-tree’, which does not respect the merge.conflictstyle option, so there is no need to worry about what ancestor_name it should pass to ll_merge(). Add a comment to this effect.
