Color me curious, but why do the merge commit message in git.git sometimes look like this:

  Merge branch 'jn/paginate-fix'

And other times like this:

  Merge remote branch 'ko/master' into jc/read-tree-cache-tree-fix

I don't really see any rhyme or reason about when the "into ..." is there and when it's not.

Also, the "Sync with 1.7.1.1" merges are I guess are from something like:

  git merge -s ours -m "Sync with 1.7.1.1" maint
