Does it need to?
Is the below enough (could be line-wrapped):

git merge --no-commit FETCH_HEAD && \
git commit -M "Merge $(cut -d ' ' -f 2- < $(git rev-parse
--git-dir)/FETCH_HEAD) \
into $(git name-rev HEAD | cut -d ' ' -f 2-)"

In the long run you'll almost certainly find this commit message
useless, though.
