Changing to this would lose the "from" information, which is quite
useful, as we sometimes merge not only from -CURRENT.  If it's about
to change, I suggest using the following template:

	MFC [into <branch>] (after|in):

Out of most popular Merge From's (MFC, MFV, and MF4), only "MFC" needs
to be reminded about.  The MFC reminder script and CVS commit template
would have to be updated for this to work.
