DESCRIPTION

14       Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
15       commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be passed as
16       the <merge-message> argument of git merge.
17
18       This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
19       automatically invoking git merge.

OPTIONS

22       --log

28           merged.
29
30       --summary, --no-summary

33
34       -F <file>, --file <file>
35           Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of stdin.
