Hi,

I'm not sure how far back you are supporting, but I'm running a python
2.2 machine
and make test fails with a missing python module. Whatever criss-cross merges
are, I don't need them, but figured if you were intending to support older
environments, then you may be interested.

Cheers,
Geoff Russell

$ git --version

    git version 1.3.3.g61ef-dirty

$ make test

*** t6021-merge-criss-cross.sh ***
....

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/LINUX/GIT/git/t/../git-merge-recursive", line 10, in ?
    from heapq import heappush, heappop
ImportError: No module named heapq

Hi Geoff,

You need Python version 2.3 or newer; from the INSTALL file:

       - "python" 2.3 or more recent; if you have 2.3, you may need
          to build with "make WITH_OWN_SUBPROCESS_PY=YesPlease".

Python 2.2 is too old, even if you import some missing modules. But you 
can always set "NO_PYTHON=YesPlease" in config.mak.
