Merging leaves repo in "still merging" state

After executing a merge as suggested in the docs, a git status suggests that "you are still merging".

Bash:

git init mergable
cd mergable
echo a > a
git add .
git commit -m "initial"
git switch -c mergy
echo b > b
git add b
git commit -m "additional"
git switch master
cd ..
git clone mergable mergable-clone

Python:

import pygit2
r = pygit2.Repository("mergable-clone")
mergy = r.references["refs/remotes/origin/mergy"]
parents = [r.head.target, mergy.target]
r.merge(mergy.target)

r.create_commit(
    "HEAD",
    pygit2.Signature("aaa", "mergy@merge.ch"),
    pygit2.Signature("aaa", "mergy@merge.ch"),
    "merge",
    r.index.write_tree(),
    parents
)

Bash:

cd mergable-clone
git status

Returns:

On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 2 commits.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

All conflicts fixed but you are still merging.
  (use "git commit" to conclude merge)

Another git commit silences the message.

Riproduci il problema usando gli snippet Bash e Python, quindi esamina gli entry point r.merge e r.create_commit e il modo in cui aggiornano lo stato del merge. Conferma il comportamento con git status; il lavoro è completato quando lo stesso flusso di commit non segnala più che il repository è ancora in fase di merge.
