Hi Konstantin

Jens, Arnaldo and I just had a twitter conversation[0] about cover
letters and merge commits. Do you think it would be possible to support
the 'include the cover letter text in the merge commit message' work
flow in b4, maybe even encourage it?

I notice b4 will already save the cover letter along with the patch mbox
file, but maybe it would be possible to automate the workflow some more?
A 'b4 merge' command that wraps 'git merge' and pre-populates the commit
message with the text from the cover letter? Or some other trick? WDYT?
