Strictly speaking, you can merge any commit, not necessarily a branch
or a tag. That can be "git merge 66f0a4d" or whatever. Admitedly, the
common case is to merge a tag or a branch (which is why I keep it in
parentheses).

Now, I don't understand the distinction you seem to be making between
"commit" and "commit object".
