merge-recursive: fix unclear and outright wrong comments

Commits 7c0a6c8e47 ("merge-recursive: move some definitions around to
clean up the header", 2019-08-17), and b4db8a2b76 ("merge-recursive:
remove useless parameter in merge_trees()", 2019-08-17) added some
useful documentation to the functions, but had a few places where the
new comments were unclear or even misleading.  Fix those comments.
