Well spotted: it is `strategy`, not `stragegy` (nor `stragedy`, I might
want to add :-))

I just verified that there is no other hit in `git grep stragegy`'s
output.

Thanks,
Johannes

I somehow had to stare at the patch for a few minutes, view it in
two Emacs buffers and run M-x compare-windows before I finally spot
the single-byte typofix.

Will queue with a retitle.

    Documentation/merge-strategies: typofix
    
    It's strategy, not stragegy.

[resending as plain text]

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion.  I'll provide a more detailed
commit message next time.

Yeah, I know, but that would not work while I am wondering if the
patch is worth applying in the first place ;-)
