Re: [PATCH v2 02/13] Don't append default merge message to -m message

because the manpage says:

  The second syntax (<msg> HEAD <remote>) is supported for historical
  reasons. Do not use it from the command line or in new scripts. It is
  the same as git merge -m <msg> <remote>.

Currently, it's not the same, but someone might expect it.

Yeah, the manpage is loosely written and does not reflect the reality.  I
am _VERY_ tempted to apply your change as-is and see if anybody screams.
Because git is designed to be very scriptable, people who want the current
behaviour can still call fmt-merge-msg themselves.
