The diffstat looks good, but the merge itself sucks.

This is the totality of the "explanation" in the merge commit: "".

Yup. That's it. Nothing. Nada.

If you cannot explain *why* you merged a branch from some other tree,
youi damn well shouldn't have done the merge in the first place.

Merge commits need explanations just like regular commits do. In fact,
because there isn't some obvious diff attached to them, explanations
are arguably even more needed.

I've pulled this, but dammit, why does this keep happening?
