may I ask if there is reason why merge commits don't have a summary?

Yes, you may. Actually this is a good question.

I find those summaries (enabled with git config [--global] merge.summary true) very hand to see what was changed with the merge commit.

I didn't even know about that feature, so thanks for poking us. Checking the documentation, it seems like the name will change soon however (man git-fmt-merge-msg):

   merge.summary
       Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed
       in the future.

But apart from that, I also like the feature. Wolfgang, what do you think?

I have no preference.

If there is an agreement (or at least no protests) we can add 'merge.log'.

Shall we?
