The annoyance I'm describing is that when the commit message is 'merge branch master' (and especially if, as the label next to it shows, it is the master branch) this is crap and useless, and hiding the 'real' commits behind it that the committer had locally while behind the remote. If they had `git pull --rebase`d (or `git pull` with the config option set) the commit message would be that of the latest 'real' one.
