This is something that bzr developers should decide.

IMHO, "[MERGE] " or "[MERGE] PUT SUBJECT HERE" or even "[MERGE] PUT
SUBJECT HERE <unique ID>" may work, I guess.

The [MERGE] prefix seems to be needed because otherwise most folks will
not know it is required for integration with other tools. However, if
those tools differ in their requirements or often not used, then an
empty subject is the best solution (some mailers will warn about it
even).

Thanks,
