When using "git merge ‑‑no‑ff ‑‑no‑commit ..", the pre‑created
merge message always contains two empty lines in between the
comment lines. However if there was a merge conflict (being
resolved) an extra blank line is added after the fiVrst line.

Could anybody provide a rough overview how and where these editor
comments are created?
The best bet would be to call `git grep` with text in that pre‑created
merge message, preferably some text that is most likely fixed, i.e. that
does not depend on the current worktree/commit.

If you give me an example of such a merge message, I can provide you
with the appropriate `git grep` call and the code locations to touch.
Hi!

Sorry for the delay:
OK, here is an example where the auto-generated comment has two blank lines:
---snip---
Merge branch 'shared'
#
# It looks like you may be committing a merge.
# If this is not correct, please remove the file
#       .git/MERGE_HEAD
# and try again.


# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
# On branch master
# All conflicts fixed but you are still merging.
#
# Changes to be committed:
#       new file:   .filelist
#       new file:   .gitignore
...more lines omitted
---snip---
Ciao,
Johannes
