NAME
git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message
SYNOPSIS
git fmt-merge-msg [--log | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
git fmt-merge-msg [--log | --no-log] -F <file>
DESCRIPTION
Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be passed as
the <merge-message> argument of git merge.
This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
automatically invoking git merge.
OPTIONS
--log
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with one-line
descriptions from the actual commits that are being merged.
--no-log
Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
merged.
--summary, --no-summary
Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
-F <file>, --file <file>
Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of stdin.
CONFIGURATION
merge.log
Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly merge
commit messages. False by default.
merge.summary
Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed in the
future.
