The commit message will say:

  Merge branch 'master' of /that/remote

  * 'master' of /that/remote:
    E
    D

Better:

     ---A--D--E--C'
         \      /
          `----B

In this case, the commit message should say... what? Certainly not the
same thing. But I do not see that you changed anything in this regard.
