Here's one more clean-up on top. I hesitated on this for the initial send just because I didn't know if we might want to switch these error messages to path_msg(), which does capitalize sometimes. But Elijah's response convinced me that we should just leave them in place, in which case it makes sense to do a minimal style fixup.

Junio, this is on top of what you've queued in jk/ort-unused-parameter-cleanups.

Subject: [PATCH] merge-ort: lowercase a few error messages

As noted in CodingGuidelines, error messages should not be capitalized. Fix up a few of these that were copied verbatim from merge-recursive to match our modern style.
