title: How to avoid "Merge branch 'name_of_branch' in commit messages?
body: <p>I remember that for about a year ago I did some merges that resulted in the commit messages being <code>Merge branch 'Name_of_branch'</code> on the remote repository.</p>
  
  <p>From what I remember it would happen if I rebased all commits in a branch and then merged it to master and then pushed to remote repository.</p>
  
  <p>But now I can't reproduce it with git-1.7.2.2.</p>
  
  <p>Have it been fixed? Or can someone explain how this happens, and perhaps how to avoid it?</p>
