So what about making git-merge take a -m "msg" argument to supply
the commit message, in which case it does the current behavior
(and thus git-pull needs to change to supply -m); and then make
git-merge without any -m parameter invoke "git pull . $@" ?

A minor tweak to both apps, a minor breakage to git-merge, but one
that I think anyone who invokes it by hand today would find sane
(using -m like we do elsewhere) and since the vintage of both
git-pull and git-merge should always match shouldn't break anyone
who uses git-pull today.
