Ahhhh... I was trying to figure out how to do this just the other day, after someone mistakenly pushed a redundant head to the master repo.

This is an extremely useful thing to be able to do; would it be an idea to add an option to the merge command to make this behaviour more accessible? Particularly on Windows where that trick doesn't work if you're using the standard command prompt.
