When sitting on a merge commit,

  git reset --merge HEAD^

will undo this merge commit (i.e. pretend the merge has never occured,
at least in your branch). Don't do that if you already published this
merge commit.

If it's about cleaning up your history, "git rebase" is your friend,
too (with the same limitation: don't do that on published history). By
default, it does some kind of history flattening.
