Yes, you're right. Although there are easy ways to mitigate this if it's actually important. Simply including the branch name in each commit message is simple enough, or disabling fast-forward merges so that each merge has its own separate commit and meta-data. Or even just not merging like that in the first place and using "feature branches" that are only ever merged back into the master branch, never the other way.
