Use case: Preventing a summary of the commits being merged from being added to the merge commit message, even though the user has this in their ~/.gitconfig:
[merge]
log=true
This broke for me in a release flow where a [ci skip] in the message of one of the commits being merged prevented the resulting merge commit from being CIed :). Adding this switch would make us immune to that particular problem.
