Please people... Explain hat in the *merge* message too.

Now we have yet another merge with absolutely zero explanation for it.

Repeat after me: merges are commits too, and need an explanation.
Sometimes they need *more* explanation than regular commits, because
they are subtler than regular commits.

If you cannot be bothered to explain  your merge, then DO NOT DO IT.
