The archive contains my test repository, the merge driver and the .gitconfig of the user. We don't have a global .gitconfig.

The merge was tried from master to test.

Can you share a minimal test repo?
I've been trying to reproduce this, unsuccessfully so far.

I guess it depends on how exactly those files are "part of the merge", and how the merge driver is set up. (I've tried with and without recursive.)
