Or "merge -s subtree".

I read the git help merge -s explanation but I do not understand how
it can help in my case.

Using subtree merge strategy you can join histories of your project
and git.git, embedding git.git as a subdirectory like gitk and
git-gui are now in git.git.  It is an alternative to using
submodules. 

Is subtree merge strategy documented?

$ grep subtree Documentation/merge-strategies.txt
$

Documentation/howto/using-merge-subtree.txt

But I agree that it should be also described, or at least mentioned
in Documentation/merge-strategies.txt
