Ah, I was also going to suggest you _not_ to use 'M' at all.  In other
words, I do not see anything wrong if you drew the graph like this:

      *   1af8bca... Merge branch 'maint'
     /|
    | *   008442f... Merge branch 'maint-1.5.4' into maint
    | * e77b0b5... git-am: fix typo in usage message
    | * 74190d2... doc/git-daemon: s/uploadarchive/uploadarch/
