15DESCRIPTION
16-----------
17Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
18commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be
19passed as the '<merge-message>' argument of 'git merge'.
20
21This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
22automatically invoking 'git merge'.

24OPTIONS
25-------
26
27--log[=<n>]::
28 In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
29 one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
30 merged. At most <n> commits from each merge parent will be
31 used (20 if <n> is omitted). This overrides the `merge.log`
32 configuration variable.
33
34--no-log::
35 Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
36 merged.
37
38--summary::
39--no-summary::
40 Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be
41 removed in the future.
42
43-m <message>::
44--message <message>::
45 Use <message> instead of the branch names for the first line
46 of the log message. For use with `--log`.
47
48--into-name <branch>::
49 Prepare the merge message as if merging to the branch `<branch>`,
50 instead of the name of the real branch to which the merge is made.
51
52-F <file>::
53--file <file>::
54 Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of
55 stdin.
