Is this on top of "next"?  I had trouble applying it on top of the
update-contrib-example-merge topic.

The description feels a bit awkward.  Maybe:

	In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
	one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
	merged.  At most <n> commits from each merge parent will be
	used (20 if <n> is omitted).  This overrides the `merge.log`
	configuration variable.

The emphasis seems wrong: the important thing is still that --log
uses a shortlog, not the number of entries.  Maybe something like

	  "populate log with (at most <n>) entries from shortlog"

but that might make "git merge -h" use more than 80 columns...

As before (is this missing a " ? DEFAULT_MERGE_LOG_LEN : 0"?).
