It seems that changes has been committed to
Documentation/git-read-tree.txt in both the jdl branch and in
origin. This shouldn't cause any problems but git-merge-recursive
(which currently is the default merge strategy) uses merge(1) to do
the file-level merging and it seems like merge(1) can't be found on
your system.

Do you have merge(1) installed? More appropriately, is merge in your
path? If it isn't installed it can usually be found in the rcs package
in your distribution.
