Subject: [PATCH] have merge put FETCH_HEAD data in commit message

Hi!
I often like to fetch some code from others, review and
then merge. So:

git fetch <URL>
git log -p FETCH_HEAD
git merge FETCH_HEAD

which is all good but gets me this message in commit log:

    Merge commit 'FETCH_HEAD' into master

which is not very informative.
I can always fix this up with git commit --amend, but
I'd like to avoid the extra step.

Would the following patch be appropriate?

OK, I since discovered git-fmt-merge-msg does all the necessary formatting,
so here's a better and smaller patch. Seems to work well for me.

Junio, could you apply this?

I am afraid not.  You missed all the points I raised in my reply.
