submodule: Demonstrate known breakage during recursive merge
Since commit
68d03e4a (Implement automatic fast-forward merge for
submodules, 2010-07-07) we try to suggest submodule commits that resolve
a conflict. Consider a true recursive merge case
b---bc
/ \ /
o X
\ / \
c---cb
in which the two heads themselves (bc,cb) had resolved a submodule
conflict (i.e. reference different commits than their parents). The
submodule merge search runs during the temporary merge of the two merge
bases (b,c) and prints out a suggestion that is not meaningful to the
user. Then during the main merge the submodule merge search runs again
but dies with the message
fatal: --ancestry-path given but there are no bottom commits
while trying to enumerate candidates. Demonstrate this known breakage
with a new test in t7405-submodule-merge covering the case.
