I was primarily worried about "'--frotz=nitfol xyzzy'", where you
need to pass -X='frotz=nitfol xyzzy' so that 'xyzzy' part does not
become a separate argument directly given to 'git merge' and friends.
And adding '' around \1 is not sufficient, because the value given
to the "--frotz" may have to be "nitfol 'n xyzzy".
A comment next to that sed script that says "Currently there is no
strategy option that needs quoting" (if it is the case; I didn't
check), together with a guard to protect us against unexpected
strategy-opts, might be a workable band-aid, though.
