History of !merge

• 'git merge' takes two diverged lines of history (series of commits, e.g. on different branches), and recombines them with a "merge commit" on top. This creates an explicit record of you doing the merge, unless there were no local changes (which does a !fast_forward merge instead). If you don't need to keep a record like that, !rebase may produce easier-to-read history, but the two don't always mix well... see also !merge_vs_rebase
