Better explained than v1 ;-)

I think this comment belongs to the log message, if only to serve as
a reminder for us that the API needs to be made more usable when the
caller wants to use these three-level names, which are quite common.
This code path knows the name of a low-level merge driver and wants
to learn everything about that driver. Another code path may know
the name of the branch and may want to scan "branch.<name>.*".
