[PATCHv2 04/10] commit,merge,tag: describe -m likewise

From: Michael J Gruber <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:50:34
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

This also removes the superfluous "specify" and rewords the misleading
"if any" which sounds as if omitting "-m" would omit the merge commit
message. (It means "if a merge commit is created at all".)
