Squash and Merge PR Messages

Merging is essentially creating a new commit which incorporates changes from two branches. As such, normal commit message formatting guidelines apply.

Some additional structure is useful here to note that this commit is the result of a merge and to refer to the pull request (PR) that it came from.

Template 

Title on the first line if doing from the command line
