[PATCH 3/4] fmt-merge-msg: Update fmt-merge-msg and merge-config documentation

From: Ramkumar Ramachandra <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:49:21
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Update the documentation of fmt-merge-msg and merge-config to reflect
the fact that `merge.log` can either be a boolean or integer option
now, instead of just a boolean.
