NAME
git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message
SYNOPSIS
git fmt-merge-msg [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
git fmt-merge-msg [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --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[=<n>]
In addition to branch names, populate the log message
with one-line descriptions from the actual commits that
are being merged. At most <n> commits from each merge
parent will be used (20 if <n> is omitted). This
overrides the merge.log configuration variable.
--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.
-m <message>, --message <message>
Use <message> instead of the branch names for the first
line of the log message. For use with --log.
-F <file>, --file <file>
Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of
stdin.
CONFIGURATION
merge.log
In addition to branch names, populate the log message
with at most the specified number of one-line
descriptions from the actual commits that are being
merged. Defaults to false, and true is a synonym for 20.
merge.summary
Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
