I do not think Dscho was pointing out any problem with your patch.

He is merely pointing out that the goal of "No git-foo anywhere on the filesystem" is an unworkable one, as sometimes you need to give the path of a specific binary to commands. It is not limited to the "-o" option of "git merge-index", but the above is a good example.

And I agree with Dscho that this is not a problem with your patch per-se.

The same issue above, that you have to have "git-merge-one-file" somewhere in your filesystem on $GIT_EXEC_PATH, he pointed out when he commented on the patch to git-merge-octopus.sh, can be seen here.
