Allow low-level driver to specify different behaviour during internal merge.

Junio C Hamano · Junio C Hamano · commit 3086486d326b · 2007-04-18T12:30:49.000-07:00
This allows [merge "drivername"] to have a variable "recursive"
that names a different low-level merge driver to be used when
merging common ancestors to come up with a virtual ancestor.
