In patch 2/2, I intentionally inserted a scissors line into MERGE_MSG so
this patch ensures that we don't get duplicate scissors.

With the existing behaviour, any messages that contain a scissors
looking line will get cut at the earliest scissors anyway, so I believe
that this patch would not change the behaviour. If the users were
dealing with commit messages with a scissors looking line, the current
behaviour already requires users to be extra careful to ensure that the
scissors don't get accidentally removed so in the interest of preserving
the existing behaviour, I don't think that any extra information would
be lost from this patch.
