This adds a filter for Github style merge commits to the repeated commits rule. As it is a feature of the platform which by its automated nature will lead to repeated commit names, it's sensible to filter them out by default (the goal of making the programmer clearly state his intent with every real commit is still achieved).
There are several different approaches one could take to implementing this feature, including adding a dynamic filter based on the current platform or making the filter step configurable. However since i am new to the project and just wanted to get general feedback on the idea i decided on building the most simple version for now. If any of the more complex versions are desired i would also be happy to implement them.
