I was about to reply that this fix works fine (actually, I was about to
reply over an hour ago but was interrupted).

But, while testing it I noticed that you had a typo in your version that
_did_not_ cause the test to fail.  You have an extra slash in the path
to '.git/MERGE_RR' which would have caused sha1 to be unset.

The 'sha1' variable that is set here on line 193 is used on the next line
to set 'rr', but 'rr' is never used again.  Unless I'm missing something,
it appears these two lines can be deleted.
