The clear-pr-merge-commit-message now clears the commit message even for merge commits, whereas previously it only cleared when squashing. Based on this exchange, it looks like this is an intentional change, which is why I'm opening this as "under discussion":
The feature description in the wiki only talks about clearing squashed commits, and under default settings, clearing a merge commit's body will leave only "Merge pull request #123 from org/repo", removing the PR's title, which is useful information not otherwise included in the commit history.
I would argue the original behaviour was sensible, and it should remain that way. If that's not acceptable, then at least the wiki should be updated.
