But probably that is an artifact of the workflow. The scenario I am
describing above implies a somewhat centralized workflow, where the
shorthand contains all of the interesting information. In a totally
distributed, we-don't-share-anything-except-the-url-namespace setup of
an open source repo, the full URL makes more sense.

So maybe it is something that should be optional.

Surely you ought to be able to get the short form with "pull", though, if 
you happen to like short forms. So it would make sense to decide how to 
format the merge message based entirely on an option, not at all on 
whether you use pull or fetch+merge.

Yeah, I think you are right. It _should_ be variable, but right now it
varies on something totally unrelated to what you want (how you invoked,
and not what type of repo setup you are using). So I agree a patch to
make it more consistent across fetch+merge versus pull would be good,
and then we can make a configuration option to choose one or the other.
