This is because 1c7b76b (Build in merge, 2008-07-07) grabs the name of the
commit to be merged using peel_to_type(), which was defined in 8177631
(expose a helper function peel_to_type()., 2007-12-24) in terms of
get_sha1_1(). It understands $commit~$n, $commit^$n and $ref@{$nth}, but
does not understand :/$str, $treeish:$path, and :$stage:$path.
