Interesting.
The following patch will change the bahaviour to what your test script
expects, but by looking at the original code, you can tell that it is
indeed the intended behaviour of "-M' to _allow_ you to _prepend_ your own
message to the standardized "Merge these" message, not _replace_ with it.
I unfortunately do not recall why _prepend_, and not _replace_, had to be
the right behaviour. Unless somebody can point out there was a valid
reason but that reason is not relevant anymore, I am reluctant to apply
the patch below this late in the cycle.
