NAME
       git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message

SYNOPSIS
       git fmt-merge-msg [--log | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
       git fmt-merge-msg [--log | --no-log] -F 


DESCRIPTION
       Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
       commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be passed as
       the  argument of git merge.

       This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
       automatically invoking git merge.

OPTIONS
       --log
           In addition to branch names, populate the log message with one-line
           descriptions from the actual commits that are being merged.

       --no-log
           Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
           merged.

       --summary, --no-summary
           Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be
           removed in the future.

       -F , --file 
           Take the list of merged objects from  instead of stdin.

CONFIGURATION
       merge.log
           Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly merge
           commit messages. False by default.

       merge.summary
           Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed in the
           future.
