Hi Alexander,

Yes, you may.  Actually this is a good question.

I didn't even know about that feature, so thanks for poking us.
Checking the documentation, it seems like the name will change soon
however (man git-fmt-merge-msg):

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

But apart from that, I also like the feature.  Wolfgang, what do you
think?

Cheers
  Detlev
