Hi Everyone,
ten days ago I asked on https://unix.stackexchange.com/ why Git is not creating a merge commit when merging a signed/annotated tag. Does someone has an answer to my question https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/446154/git-not-creating-merge-commit-when-merging-signed-annotated-tag?
Thank you in advance!

I believe my answer in this recent thread which brought up the same topic applies to your situation as well: https://public-inbox.org/git/CANgJU+VFCY0LNRLMSGtD7ScpcLaPFMzUOyw6Bjgk6q=Kx9DvCg@mail.gmail.com/

Try to apply the patch I noted to builtin/merge.c there and see if you don't get the same message printed out.
