SYNOPSIS
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.

one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
merged.

merged.
--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.

the future.
