Starting with v2.5.0 git merge can handle FETCH_HEAD internally and
warns when it's called like 'git merge <message> HEAD <commit>' because
that syntax is deprecated.  Use this feature in git-gui and get rid of
that warning.

Much better than my version. I had left fmt-merge-msg and added
--no-log to treat merge.log config suitably. But this works too, and
is much more obvious.

The only problem I see here is that generally git-gui tries to continue
to work with older versions of git as well. So adding a guard using the
git-version procedure should maintain that backwards compatibility.

I suggest:
