recursive::
This can only resolve two heads using 3-way merge
algorithm. When there are more than one common
ancestors that can be used for 3-way merge, it creates a
- merged tree of the common ancestores and uses that as
+ merged tree of the common ancestors and uses that as
the reference tree for the 3-way merge. This has been
reported to result in fewer merge conflicts without
causing mis-merges by tests done on actual merge commits
taken from Linux 2.6 kernel development history.

This resolves more than two-head case, but refuses to do
complex merge that needs manual resolution. It is
primarily meant to be used for bundling topic branch
heads together. This is the default merge strategy when
