[PATCH 4/7] builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy

From

Date

Message-ID
<99c90877657be0ed439a9918f500d6ad132550a2.1217037178.git.vmiklos@frugalware.org>

<68749731fe8de8b2a9ffc53963291aeab9256b82.1217037178.git.vmiklos@frugalware.org>

Allow using a custom strategy, as long as it's named git-merge-foo. The error handling is now done using is_git_command(). The list of available strategies is now shown by list_commands().
