title: git remote merge commit causing false dependencies in gerrit
body: <p>I am working with a remote branch in git. Before doing any work, I do a git pull to get the ToT. When I look at the git log, I see that this automatically creates a merge commit with a message: "Merge branch 'master' of ssh://myserver:1111/mybranch". Then, I do my work and commit my change. After that I push my change up. Our system is setup with gerrit for code review. My new change shows up in gerrit with dependency on the merge commit. How do I get rid of this?</p>
