using -m or --merges-only will only show the merge
commit messages. It will also use the body of the merge
commit message in addition to the subject, as github merges
usually have a useless subject line for commit messages.

If used with -n/--no-merges, the last one specified will win.

Will need regenerated man pages (.html + .1)

Closes: #470

@JanSchulz, I really like displaying the commit body under merge commits. Could you send in a pull request making that the default behavior (in git changelog) as well?

Thoughts @hemanth?
