For the subject, mention the area you're touching, followed by a colon, followed by a short but meaningful summary of the change. Drop capitalization.

    revision: add --merges={show|only|hide} option

No need to mention "revision.c" here since the patch itself shows this clearly.

Considering that there is already a --merges option, it is somewhat misleading and not terribly clear to say only that you're adding a new "option 'merges'". Better would be to spell out --merges= explicitly.

Considering that Junio actually wrote this patch[1], it would be more correct and considerate to attribute it to him. You can do so by ensuring that there is a "From:" header at the very top of the commit message before mailing out the patch:

    From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The customary way to indicate that you wrote the commit message and made a few small adjustments to Junio's patch would be with a bracketed comment (starting with your initials) just before your sign-off. Something like this:

    [kk: wrote commit message; added a couple missing
    {min|max}_parents assignments]
