Subject: [PATCH] Handle really trivial case inside git-merge.

Using Linus' --trivial option, this handles really trivial case
inside git-merge itself, without using any strategy modules.

A 'really trivial case' is:

 - we are merging one branch into the current branch;
 - there is only one merge base between the branches;
 - there is no file-level merge required.
