      Since introduction of Source Tree into our organisation, it has been difficult to track merging between branches. This is due to merging a revision, rather than a branch.

      Steps to reproduce..
      1.) Open Source Tree
      2.) Open a repository
      3.) Checkout branch [INSERT NAME OF BRANCH TO MERGE INTO]
      4.) Click 'merge' button. Tree is displayed.
      5.) Select revision "1234567" marked as head of branch "origin/fb_anexamplebranch"

      Expected:
      "Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/origin/fb_anexamplebranch' into preprod
      Conflicts:
      html/resources/css/modules.css
      "

      Actual:
      The message includes the commit hash code.
