[PATCH] rebase --preserve-merges: ignore "merge.log" config

From
Ralf Thielow <ralf.thielow@gmail.com>
Date
Aug 21, 2013, 18:48 UTC
Message-ID
<1377110937-13439-1-git-send-email-ralf.thielow@gmail.com>

When "merge.log" config is set, "rebase --preserve-merges" will add the log lines to the message of the rebased merge commit.

A rebase should not modify a commit message automatically.

Teach "git-rebase" to ignore that configuration by passing "--no-log" to the git-merge call.
