I'd rather show merge commits always with M. They are still conceptually
merges even if the current log view shows only one parent. This patch
changes symbols * and M to be visual symbols, not logical symbols which
I'd prefer.

For example user may be interested in finding certain merge but chooses
to limit the output with a commit range. It helps if user can always
trust the symbols * and M to have this conceptual difference.
