'Know from' in this sense is a little confusing. Maybe something like:

s/so I cannot know from 'branch.<branchname>.merge' in your
configuration file/ \
so I cannot use any 'branch.<branchname>.merge' from your configuration file

?

I know you haven't changed this part, but as it's included in the
patch, what we're asking the user to do is to 'specify' the branch to
merge, not to 'name' it.
