However, gitMergeCommon.py is a module without the main program. It does not even have the usual "primarily meant to be a library but you could run it standalone" idiom at the end: if __name__ == '__main__': test() So I am not sure if this patch makes sense -- does it misbehave on your system when installed without +x bit?
