[PATCH] [GSoC] Add configuration options for some commonly used command-line options

<5505DD9D.8010102@posteo.de>

This patch adds a 'showmerges' config. option for git-log. This option determines whether the log should contain merge commits or not. In essence, if this option is set to true, git-log will be run as 'git-log --no-merges'.
