When argc == 1, this means read_empty never gets called.  Is that
intended?

It breaks 7607.13.  Running "make test" is a good way to find some
breakages.

As always when pretending something, I think a comment would be
helpful.  Something to the effect of:

	/*
	 * We were called as "git merge <branch1> <branch2> <branch3>...".
	 *
	 * Now HEAD has advanced to <branch1>, and we can pretend
	 * we were called as "git merge <branch2> <branch3>...".
	 */

Though I think I prefer the more explicit comment I suggested last
time[1].

Won't this break

	git merge "message here" $(git rev-parse HEAD) foo bar

?  Previously this code was in an "else" block so it wasn't reached in
the is_old_style_invocation case.

What happens with

	git merge "message here" HEAD foo bar

from an unborn branch?

Hope that helps.
