Folks who are setting any ff options don't need any of these training
wheels. My proposed --prompt behavior is for folks who think “I often
run this command without thinking it through all the way. I'm also
not used to reading Git's output and using 'reset --hard' with the
reflog to reverse changes. Instead of trusting me to only say what I
mean or leaving me to recover from mistakes, please tell me what's
about to change and let me opt out if I've changed my mind.”

But just because a ff is possible doesn't mean it's what the
user/project wants. It may be the most likely guess, but why guess
when they've explicitly asked for a prompt?

I'll just mimic however mergetool currently handles prompt
accept/decline.

Good idea.

I'll just mimic mergetool.
