There are (and used to be the norm), as in "git diff --raw", for
example.
But I doubt the value of pointing out exact commit in the first
place, which leads me to say that "no -m option was given but
history has a merge" might be a viable alternative.
If identifying the exact commit has value, on the other hand, we can
rephrase it like this:
error(_("no -m option was given to pick a merge '%s'", ...));
to place it not in the middle. We can do similar rephrasing for
other messages as well.

error(_("-m option was given for non-merge commit '%s'", ...);
