In a sense, you get that information: "merge" is called as

$ merge -L new1 -L orig -L new2 fnew1 forig fnew2

where few1 is the filename of the _temporary_ file, and new1 is the name 
that should be displayed instead. For every but the final stage, new1 
begins with "Temporary merge branch".

In "next", only git-merge-recursive is converted to use xdl_merge(), and 
it did not use git-merge-one-file to begin with. Since this is a shell 
script (with a different syntax than merge), it would have to be converted 
to a C builtin first. But feasible: git-merge-one-file takes 7 parameters, 
the first 3 being SHA1s or empty strings. "merge" takes 3 filenames, with 
possibly up to three "-L <name>" pairs before them.

Ciao,
