Otherwise the merge.summary option has no visible effect.
I suspect you are mistaking a different merge summary. The
option affects fmt-merge-msg, iow, the shortlog looking summary
that appears as the commit message in a merge commit.
The command line parameter --no-summary inhibits the diffstat
given to the terminal after "git-pull/git-merge" is made.
I did it again, didn't I?! :)
You could argue that it is not your fault but is a faulty and
misleading documentation, if you supply a patch to clarify it
;-).
