Hi!
I like to do
        $git fetch <URL>

        $git log FETCH_HEAD

        $git merge FETCH_HEAD

I would expect this to be equivalent to

        git pull <URL>

However, the message that git merge produces in this case
is less than informative:

commit 3c11f564846227d80aa76b579c974913c3602862
Merge: 9871244... f5e6d63...
Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    Merge commit 'FETCH_HEAD' into ofed_1_2

I note that FETCH_HEAD actually has the information on where
the commit came from:
$cat .git/FETCH_HEAD
f5e6d63839970f4785c36b6be3835f037e74195c ssh://<hidden>/usr/src/ofed_1_2

So can not git merge be enhanced to put this data in commit log?


Does it need to?
Is the below enough (could be line-wrapped):

git merge --no-commit FETCH_HEAD && \
git commit -M "Merge $(cut -d ' ' -f 2- < $(git rev-parse
--git-dir)/FETCH_HEAD) \
into $(git name-rev HEAD | cut -d ' ' -f 2-)"

In the long run you'll almost certainly find this commit message
useless, though.
