Re: [PATCH] "master" should be treated no differently from any other branch

This patch makes all merge log messages of the form:

  Merge branch XXXX into YYYY

Regardless of whether YYYY is master or not.

"master" shouldn't get special treatment; making different log messages
based on the name of the branch is bad form.  What if a user likes
"my/master" or "my/head" as their master branch?

Why not drop the "into YYYY" part for everyone else?  I don't find
it useful at all, and is just confusing if I merge to a temporary
branch and then pull that into master later.
