I thought there were some comments last time that you were going to
address and resubmit?

Not objecting this, but I think something like [1] would give v4 more
exposure. Reading the patch again, I think putting that detection code
in unpack_trees() or git-merge may make more sense because people will
be advised about upgrading to v4 at the next fast-forward.
