6 git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message
12 'git fmt-merge-msg' [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
13 'git fmt-merge-msg' [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] -F <file>
17 Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
18 commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be
19 passed as the '<merge-message>' argument of 'git merge'.
21 This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
22 automatically invoking 'git merge'.
28 In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
29 one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
30 merged. At most <n> commits from each merge parent will be
31 used (20 if <n> is omitted). This overrides the `merge.log`
32 configuration variable.

40 Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be
41 removed in the future.
45 Use <message> instead of the branch names for the first line
46 of the log message. For use with `--log`.
50 Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of
57 Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly
58 merge commit messages. False by default.
61 Synonym to `merge.log`; this is deprecated and will be removed in
