+====================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git fmt-merge-msg' [--log | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
+'git fmt-merge-msg' [--log | --no-log] -F <file>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
+commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be
+passed as the '<merge-message>' argument of 'git merge'.
+
+This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts
+automatically invoking 'git merge'.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--log::
+ In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
+ one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
+ merged.
+
+--no-log::
+ Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
+ merged.
+
+--summary::
+--no-summary::
+ Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be
+ removed in the future.
+
+-F <file>::
+--file <file>::
+ Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of
+ stdin.
+
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+
+merge.log::
+ Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly
+ merge commit messages. False by default.
+
+merge.summary::
+ Synonym to `merge.log`; this is deprecated and will be removed in
+ the future.
