And here's another patch in the same spirit (no test this time, though). -- >8 -- Subject: merge-recursive: take advantage of hardcoded empty tree When this code was first written (v1.4.3-rc1~174^2~4, merge-recur: if there is no common ancestor, fake empty one, 2006-08-09), everyone needing a fake empty tree had to make her own, but ever since v1.5.5-rc0~180^2~1 (2008-02-13), the object lookup machinery provides a ready-made one. Use it. This is just a simplification, though it also fixes a small leak (since the tree in the virtual common ancestor commit is never freed).
