If I have bk/new-topic branch, here is how I would merge it.
$ git merge --compact-summary bk/new-topic
but there is an existing merge.stat that (1) is a mere boolean and
(2) is true by default to force use of "--stat" option. We could
extend it to "bool or the string 'compact-summary'" and when it is
- not set, do the "--stat" as before;
- set to true, do the "--stat" as before;
- set to 'compact-summary', do the "--compact-summary".
With such a configuration variable, "git merge bk/new-topic" would
be how I would run my merge.
