The best bet would be to call `git grep` with text in that pre-created merge message, preferably some text that is most likely fixed, i.e. that does not depend on the current worktree/commit. If you give me an example of such a merge message, I can provide you with the appropriate `git grep` call and the code locations to touch. Ciao, Johannes
