When I and my colleague work on the same git branch, each of us sees a strange commit with message
"Merge branch 'X' of URL into X"
where X - the same branch.
after pull has been performed (and new changes came from remote). I said "strange" because I previously work with SVN, and this process in SVN is transparent - SVN doesn't create a commit when I perform "svn update" in order to obtain changes from server.
Is it possible to avoid such commits? They litters log history...
