Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: do not use obsolete `git merge $msg HEAD $branch'

From: Johannes Sixt <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 22:44:08 +0100

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.
