Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: do not use obsolete `git merge $msg HEAD $branch'
Message-ID: <5671DB28.8020901@kdbg.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/5671DB28.8020901%40kdbg.org

```
Use the modern `git merge' invocation pattern.

Since both `git merge' and `git fmt-merge-msg' obey the merge.log
configuration, instruct the former not to generate the log summary to
avoid that it appears twice in the commit message.
