RecursiveMerger should not fail on content-merge conflicts of parents
Previously when RecursiveMerger was trying to create a single virtual
common base for the merge it was failing when this lead to content-merge
conflicts. This is different from what native git is doing. When native
git's recursive merge algorithm creates a new common base it will merge
the multiple parents and simply take the merge result (potentially
including conflict markers) as common base. See my discussion with Shawn
here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg234959.html :

Its done entirely in memory and never touches the working tree or
index. When a conflict exists in the X1-X2 merge the conflict is
preserved into the new virtual base.
There is still the possibility that the merge of parents lead to
conflicts. File/Folder conclicts, conflicts on filemodes. This commit
only fixes the situation for conflicts when merging content.
