Hi. 

I'm running a speciallized commit-msg hook to help me fill out commit 
messages. This all works nicely for alle commits except for merges.

What I normally do to circumvent this is this :

$ git merge somebranch

<here I append to autogenerated message with my own text>

$ git commit --ammend

<I just save the message without changes and the commit-message is run 
throught my filter>


Is that intentional or an error ?
