Add merge strategy option to produce more customizable merge result such
as automatically resolving conflicts.

I think adding a merge strategy option to merge-tree is a good idea, but have you tested this with anything apart from -Xours or -Xtheirs? It looks to me like those are the only two that this patch supports. If you look at parse_merge_opt() in merge-recursive.c you will see that there are many other options. In order to support all the merge options I think this patch needs a bit of refactoring.

Rather that copying across individual members I think you should initialize o->merge_options properly in cmd_merge_tree() by calling init_merge_options() and then use o->merge_options instead of "opt" in this function. That way all the strategy options will be supported.

You should add

	init_merge_options(&o.merge_options);

here to ensure it is properly initialized.

  	argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, mt_options,
  			     merge_tree_usage, PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION);

This is the right place to call parse_merge_opt() but I think we should first check that the user has requested a real merge rather than a trivial merge.

	if (xopts.nr && o.mode == MODE_TRIVIAL)
		die(_("--trivial-merge is incompatible with all other options"));

Otherwise if the user passes in invalid strategy option to a trivial merge they'll get an error about an invalid strategy option rather than being told --strategy-option is not supported with --trivial-merge.

Ideally there would be a preparatory patch that moves the switch statement that is below the "if(o.use_stdin)" block up to this point so we'd always have set o.mode before checking if it is a trivial merge. (I think you'd to change the code slightly when it is moved to add a check for o.use_stdin)
