Whenever i do a "git pull" to check updates to the kernel
or git repo i recieve

warning: 'git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>' is deprecated. Please update
your script to use 'git merge -m <msg> <commit>' instead.
In future versions of git, this syntax will be removed.
Already up-to-date.

git pull should be updated to not use a deprecated form of git merge.

Regards

```

Yes we are aware of the issue and have a patch to do so which requires
another change which we also already have patch for.  It will be fixed
before 1.6.6-rc1

Thanks for reporting.
