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

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.
