Feature request: git-pull -e/--edit

[linux@horizon.com]

The last end-user use I can think of for git-merge instead
of git-pull is providing a custom commit message.

Would it be possible to add -m and -e options to git-pull?

The problem I can see is that the latter would have to be added to
git-merge, and the guts there are a bit intricate; it uses git-commit-tree
directly rather than git-commit, so I can't just pass through the
arguments.

Assuming it's just as much of a pain for someone else, would it
still be worth the effort?  Can git-merge be cleaned up?

The manual option is to use "git merge --no-commit" and then supply the
arguments to git-commit in the usual way.

But I notice that --no-commit actually changes git's merging
technique.  If it's specified, the trivial in-index merge doesn't
appear to be attempted.  I don't think it makes a huge difference,
