The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git fmt-merge-msg' [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
|
|
'git fmt-merge-msg' [-m <message>] [--log[=<n>] | --no-log] -F <file>
|
|
|
|
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 '<merge-message>' argument of 'git merge'.
|
|
|
|
This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
|
|
automatically invoking 'git merge'.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--log[=<n>]::
|
|
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
|
|
one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
|
|
merged. At most <n> commits from each merge parent will be
|
|
used (20 if <n> is omitted). This overrides the `merge.log`
|
|
configuration variable.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
-m <message>::
|
|
--message <message>::
|
|
Use <message> instead of the branch names for the first line
|
|
of the log message. For use with `--log`.
|
|
|
|
-F <file>::
|
|
--file <file>::
|
|
Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of
|
|
stdin.
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
merge.log::
|
|
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with at
|
|
most the specified number of one-line descriptions from the
|
|
actual commits that are being merged. Defaults to false, and
|
|
true is a synonym for 20.
|
|
|
|
merge.summary::
|
|
Synonym to `merge.log`; this is deprecated and will be removed in
|
|
the future.
