Add Project Level Setting for "include description in commit message"
Proposal
As discussed in gitlab-foss#26784 (closed)
Using the merge request description as the commit message is an extremely powerful feature. It helps keeping Git as the source of truth and rationale behind changes applied to the code base.
However, this capacbility is currently hindered by the fact that one has to manually do it on each and every merge request at the risk of forgetting to do it and making valuable information harder to find (it would still exist on GitLab but would not be accessible to tools using Git such as IDEs, CLIs and GUIs).
Hence why I think a project-level setting for this feature would be a great addition to the current ones.
