Not a huge one, but it's ugly.

When I did a "git pull repo", the merge messages _used_ to look like this:

    Merge master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6
    
    * master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6:
      [NEIGH]: Fix IP-over-ATM and ARP interaction.
      [TG3]: ethtool always report port is TP.

or (if I specified a branch):

    Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ro
    
    * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infini
      IB/mthca: FMR ioremap fix
      IPoIB: Free child interfaces properly
      IB/mthca: Fix race in reference counting
      IB/srp: Fix tracking of pending requests during error handling
      IB: Fix display of 4-bit port counters in sysfs

but now they look like this:

    Merge commit master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6 of HEAD
    
    * HEAD:
      [NET]: fix __sk_stream_mem_reclaim
      [Bluetooth] Fix deadlock in the L2CAP layer
      [Bluetooth] Let BT_HIDP depend on INPUT
      [Bluetooth] Avoid NULL pointer dereference with tty->driver
      [Bluetooth] Remaining transitions to use kzalloc()
      [WAN]: converting generic HDLC to use netif_dormant*()
      [IPV4]: Fix error handling for fib_insert_node call
      [NETROM] lockdep: fix false positive
      ....

which makes no sense AT ALL. It's doesn't even parse. "Merge commit <repo> of <branch>"? Whaa? That's just insane.

Also, the " * HEAD" is just ugly. It was better before.

Dscho? Can you please make git fmt-merge-message print out something sensible again? It doesn't have to match the old behaviour 100%, but the current one is just ugly and senseless.
