Never ever underestimate pet peeves. If we give many people an obvious 
reason (however trivial and bike-shed-coloured) to complain, they will 
complain.

If we pull (pun intended) that reason away under their collective 
backsides, they will have to find another reason to complain. But by the 
time they found something, they will already be happy git users!

But since you just provided a patch to make life easier on non-gitters, I 
guess you agree with that already.

And hopefully you also agree that enhancing the syntax of git-merge to 
grok "git-merge [-m message] <branch>" and "git-merge [-m message] 
<url-or-remote> <branch>" would be a lovely thing, luring even more 
people into using git.

Maybe they even start complaining about subversion and CVS calling a merge 
"update", who knows?

Ciao,
Dscho
