git-gui: Warn users before making an octopus merge
A coworker who was new to git-gui recently tried to make an octopus merge when he did not quite mean to. Unfortunately in his case the branches had file level conflicts and failed to merge with the octopus strategy, and he didn't quite know why this happened. Since most users really don't want to perform an octopus merge this additional safety valve in front of the merge process is a good thing. Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
