I've always wanted to do this at some point.  Perhaps add a big
red warning to git-resolve.sh right now and say "after the next
'master' release this will go away" to its stdout for a few
weeks to find out who screams?

On a very related note, we should prepare plan to deprecate
merge-recursive.py.  My preference is:

	(1) rename merge-recursive.py to merge-recursive-old.py,
	    make it available as "recursive-old" strategy.

            install git-merge-recur as git-merge-recursive.
            Calling for "recur" or "recursive" strategy gets the
            same thing from this point on.

	(2) remove merge-recur synonym once people who are using
            "USE_RECUR_FOR_RECURSIVE" or "merge.twohead = recur"
            to use the bleeding edge migrate.

and I think step (1) can happen fairly soon.  Maybe immediately
after the next release from the "master".

Perhaps that is the good timing to remove git-resolve.sh as
well.  Or maybe immediately before that release?  I dunno, and I
do not think anybody cares really much.
