The default commit message that fetch uses, "Automated merge with ...." is long, ugly and litters the history with local directory paths. I'd like to replace it with a simple "Automated merge" or just "Merge".
How can we customize the default commit message used by the fetch extension?

By default the message is not customizable (check out "library.zip" under your Mercurial install folder, you'll see the message in plain text under
hgext\fetch.pyc
).So the only way is to update source code of "fetch" - try this version, I just changed the message to "Fetch merge" and it works like a blast :)
You'd need to remove
library.zip\hgext\fetch.pyc
and put therefetch.py
(plain python file) with the content from the link above.
