merge: merge with the default upstream branch without argument

"git merge" without specifying any commit is a no-op by default.

A new option merge.defaultupstream can be set to true to cause such an
invocation of the command to merge the upstream branches configured for
the current branch by using their last observed values stored in their
remote tracking branches.

<commit>...::
Commits, usually other branch heads, to merge into our branch.
You need at least one <commit>. Specifying more than one
<commit> obviously means you are trying an Octopus.
Specifying more than one commit will create a merge with
more than two parents (affectionately called an Octopus merge).
+
If no commit is given from the command line, and if `merge.defaultToUpstream`
configuration variable is set, merge the remote tracking branches
that the current branch is configured to use as its upstream.
See also the configuration section of this manual page.

merge.defaultToUpstream::
If merge is called without any commit argument, merge the upstream
branches configured for the current branch by using their last
observed values stored in their remote tracking branches.
The values of the `branch.<current branch>.merge` that name the
branches at the remote named by `branch.<current branch>.remote`
are consulted, and then they are mapped via `remote.<remote>.fetch`
to their corresponding remote tracking branches, and the tips of
these tracking branches are merged.
merge.log::
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with at
most the specified number of one-line descriptions from the
