[verse]
git-fmt-merge-msg [--log | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable

merged.
--summary::
--no-summary::
Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be

-F <file>::
--file <file>::
Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of
stdin.
CONFIGURATION
-------------

Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly
merge commit messages. False by default.

Synonym to `merge.log`; this is deprecated and will be removed in
the future.
