Hmph.  Then that is a different issue.  As I never use --merged
myself, even though I use "git branch [--verbose] --no-merged pu"
quite often to check the list of topics that I received but not yet
merged anywhere in my tree, I wouldn't be entirely surprised that
the combination does not work, but with a quick glance of the code,
especially how matches_merge_filter() uses "--[no-]merged", I cannot
offhand imagine how --no-merged would work and --merged break.
