Yes, that's it. Git does a merge, and immediately forgets it was a
merge. The consequence is when you merge again later, Git will not be
able to use the merge information to be clever about merging. Somehow,
Git will be as bad as SVN for merging if you don't know what you're
doing ;-).

Well, it's fun also to learn Git notions in more details ;-).
