I might spot more tiny issues, but it looks like our error messaging
needs updating for 14c4586c2df (merge,rebase,revert: select ort or
recursive by config or environment, 2020-11-02).

I.e. we die on "Unknown option for merge-recursive", presumably that
should be updated to indicate that we might call one of
merge_recursive() or merge_ort_recursive() now.

And perhaps this in sequencer.c:

    that represents the "current" state for merge-recursive[...]
