Description
### New feature, improvement proposal
This feature request is to add the ability to skip the --no-merges behavior that was introduced in this commit:
https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/pull/193/files#diff-54686f353f1a0410c924cc017f740c8b003de6770b46beddab45f48a30644a3dR66
This feature request is in response to @kwin's comment in Nov 5, 2024 in this buildnumber-maven-plugin issue:
https://github.com/mojohaus/buildnumber-maven-plugin/issues/229#issuecomment-3419928452, indicating a new "skipMergeCommits" parameter would be needed, similar to the revision length parameter here: https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/blob/7f0b12ae405807ba42851681ca0899861af617af/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-providers-git/maven-scm-provider-gitexe/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/scm/provider/git/gitexe/command/info/GitInfoCommand.java#L97.

Research direction
Start with maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-providers-git/maven-scm-provider-gitexe/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/scm/provider/git/gitexe/command/info/GitInfoCommand.java and trace the existing revision-length parameter and skipMergeCommits behavior. Compare the Git CLI and JGit implementations, then verify that the new parameter is available and respected by both providers.
