merge-strategies.txt: do not imply using copy detection is desired
Stating that the recursive strategy "currently cannot make use of
detected copies" implies that this is a technical shortcoming of the
current algorithm. I disagree with that. I don't see how copies could
possibly be used in a sane fashion in a merge algorithm -- would we
propagate changes in one file on one side of history to each copy of
that file when merging? That makes no sense to me. I cannot think of
anything else that would make sense either. Change the wording to
simply state that we ignore any copies.
