[PATCH 3/5] merge: Make 'merge.log' an integer or boolean option

[Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com>]

Make 'merge.log' an integer or boolean option to set the number of
shortlog entries to display in the merge commit. Note that it defaults
to false, and that true means a default value of 20. Also update
corresponding documentation.
