Hi folks

Is there any way to edit the message of a merge prior to the commit? I see there is an -m option but no --edit or the like. It would also make sense to have a config option for this to turn on spawning the editor by default, I think...

If there is none, I am willing to take a stab at it. Unless you tell me that this will have no chance to go upstream.
