inner conflict. This is done recursively, so any number of nested
conflicts can be handled.
Note that this only works for conflict markers that "cleanly nest". If
there are any unmatched conflict markers, rerere will fail to handle
the conflict and record a conflict resolution.

inner conflict, the conflict markers themselves are not stripped out
before calculating the sha1.
