Git merge doesn't use default merge message, opens editor with default message

How can I force git merge to use the default merge message instead of loading my editor with said message?

I have no editor listed in git config -l, so I'm not sure why it opens an editor.

    EDIT: As per Mark's suggestion, this is the best way to do so: 

    git config --global core.mergeoptions --no-edit
