When merging an early part of a branch, e.g. "git merge xyzzy~20", we were
supposed to say "branch 'xyzzy' (early part)", but it incorrectly said
"branch 'refs/heads/xy' (early part)" instead.
The logic was supposed to first strip away "~20" part to make sure that
what follows "~" is a non-zero posint, prefix it with "refs/heads/" and
ask resolve_ref() if it is a ref. If it is, then we know xyzzy was a
branch, and we can give the correct message.
However, there were a few bugs. First of all, the logic to build this
"true branch refname" did not count the characters correctly. At this
point of the code, "len" is the number of trailing, non-name part of the
given extended SHA-1 expression given by the user, i.e. number of bytes in
"~20" in the above example.
In addition, the message forgot to skip "refs/heads/" it prefixed from the
output.

The parameter that is eventually passed to read_directory() to scan the
working tree should be properly initialized.

'git merge -s foobar' diagnosed invalid "foobar" strategy and errored out
with a message, but foobar in pull.twohead or pull.octopus was just
silently ignored. This makes invalid strategy both on the command line
and in the configuration file to trigger the same error.

Now "git merge -m" needs a message, and errors out with the usage
text if none is given.
This way, t7600-merge.sh is fixed.

'recur' co-existed with 'recursive' when rewriting it in C, but it no
longer available. 'stupid' was also recently removed.
"git merge -s confused origin" still includes them in the list of
available merge strategies.
