Looking at the shortlog information for 2.6.13 there are a lot (eleven) of changes attributed to me that look like:

  Auto merge with /home/aegl/GIT/linus

This is valid (I really did make all those commits, they happen every time I merge the "linus" branch into my release branch, which I like to do quite often so I'm working near the bleeding edge), but it doesn't seem all that useful in the "short" log output[1]

If "Auto merge" isn't a good string to match for the purposes of trimming, then I can make my scripts use something else.

[1] unless I can persuade Intel to base my bonus on the number of commits I get included into the base :-)
