i just understood today that the reason I feel stressed out about merge commits is that you can't figure out the contents of a merge commit by looking at it with `git show`

for example in this screenshot I have two merge commits (`merge1` and `merge2`). They both have the same parents. They display the exact same way with `git show`. But they have different contents.
