Instead, the + tip of the current branch is fast-forwarded. When set to `false`, + this variable tells Git to create an extra merge commit in such + a case (equivalent to giving the `--no-ff` option from the command + line). When set to `only`, only such fast-forward merges are + allowed (equivalent to giving the `--ff-only` option from the + command line). + merge.log:: - Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created - merge commit messages. False by default. + In addition to branch names, populate the log message with at + most the specified number of one-line descriptions from the + actual commits that are being merged.

In such a repository, Git can convert the data + recorded in commits to a canonical form before performing a + merge to reduce unnecessary conflicts.
