Thanks.

I think we still need to work on this a bit more, but I found an unrelated and nastier issue before this patch can sanely be applied.

If you insert an "exit" after this test and inspect the resulting commit, you will see that it created a merge.

	Side note: I think verify_parents is buggy. It only makes sure
	that the earlier parents of HEAD match the commits given, and does
	not care if there actually are more parents.

In any case, your test exposed an ancient breakage ever since the per-branch mergeoptions was introduced back when git-merge was a shell script (aec7b36 (git-merge: add support for branch.<name>.mergeoptions, 2007-09-24).

I am not going to fix verify_parents tonight, as I have other git things to do.

Subject: [PATCH] merge: fix branch.<name>.mergeoptions

The parsing of the additional command line parameters supplied to the branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration variable was implemented at the wrong stage. If any merge-related variable came after we read branch.<name>.mergeoptions, the earlier value was overwritten.

We should first read all the merge.* configuration, override them by reading from branch.<name>.mergeoptions and then finally read from the command line.

This patch should fix it, even though I now strongly suspect that branch.<name>.mergeoptions that gives a single command line that needs to be parsed was likely to be an ill-conceived idea to begin with. Sigh...
