For my use case (well, it used to be my use case), namely keeping a number 
of topic branches on top of an upstream up-to-date, this is not the 
desired action.  In my use case, merged topic branches should just vanish, 
and not even leave a merge commit.

I think you did real fine, even providing a test case, which not many 
submitters do!
