While at it, add "Configuration" section mentioning merge.summary configuration variable (which is mentioned in git-fmt-merge-msg(1) man page, but it is a plumbing command), and merge.verbosity configuration variable (so there is a place to make reference from "Environment Variables" section of git(7) man page) to the git-merge(1) man page.
The configuration variable merge.verbosity and environmental variable GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY were introduced in commit 8c3275ab, which also documented configuration variable but not environmental variable.
Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> --- The alternative to adding "Configuration" section to git-merge(1) man page, and referring to it in the description of GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY environmental variable in git(7), would be to either refer to git-config(1), or add full description similar to description of merge.verbosity to git(7).
Perhaps above paragraph should be added to commit message?
I have put shortened sha1 of commit which introduced setting of a merge verbosity to be able to go to it from graphical UI like for example gitweb.
