I believe my answer in this recent thread which brought up the same
topic applies to your situation as well:
https://public-inbox.org/git/CANgJU+VFCY0LNRLMSGtD7ScpcLaPFMzUOyw6Bjgk6q=Kx9DvCg@mail.gmail.com/

Try to apply the patch I noted to builtin/merge.c there and see if you
don't get the same message printed out.
