When "git merge" is run with a message, it appends an extra message
that it would add if it were run without one. For example, when I
tried to merge an early part of a side branch.
% git merge -m "Merge early part of side branch" `git rev-parse side~2`
% git show -s

Merge early part of side branch
Merge commit 'a1d2374f8f52f4e8a53171601a920b538a6cec23'
I gave my own message because I didn't want git to add the
standard message (if I wanted to, I wouldn't have given one,
or I would have prepared it using git-fmt-merge-msg command).
Is it possible to tell git-merge not to do this, or will it
break compatibility and is a bad idea to change it?
I noticed that this was proposed before:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/77965/focus=80059
you were in favor of changing this behavior, and there was
no objection from the list.
