+On the **New Merge Request** page, start by filling in the title and description
+for the merge request. If commits already exist on the branch, GitLab suggests a
+merge request title for you:
+
+- **If a multi-line commit message exists**: GitLab adds the first line of the
+  first multi-line commit message as the title. Any additional lines in that
+  commit message become the description.
+- **If no multi-line commit message exists**: GitLab adds the branch name as the
+  title, and leaves the description blank.
 
 The title is the only field that is mandatory in all cases.
