Done.

Done.

> (which follows a precedent set by git-merge-recursive). Your version is a bit more self-documenting, but what if we want to allow users to specify multiple merge bases in the future (for use in passing to merge_incore_recursive())? Is it annoying to need to prefix each one?
Actually, I thought about it at the time, but didn't think of any good input format. Your idea is great, I think I'll use it.

I just added the documentation for --input, please see what else needs to be improved.

> This last test seems odd. You are merely testing that the output of "git merge-tree --stdin" matches the output of repeated calls to "git merge-tree", not that the merges involved produce correct results?

Yeah, I have added the comment.
