I build daily, and apaprently I built git-merge-recursive-old,
but it's not in .gitignore.  Needs to be added, no?

To the contrary. You need to remove it: v1.4.4-g7cdbff1 removed it, but 
you still have the generated file...

trackers that this is not a mistake, but merely human action required.  I
can't immediately think of any way to do it though.
