+Let's test that merge commits are handled properly in the context of patches.
+First, let's create a patch.
+``` (stderr) RAD_SOCKET=/dev/null
+$ git checkout -b feature/1 -q
+$ git commit --allow-empty -q -m "First change"
+$ git push rad HEAD:refs/patches
+✓ Patch 143bb0c962561b09e86478a53ba346b5ff934335 opened
+To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
+ * [new reference]   HEAD -> refs/patches
+```
+
+Then let's update the master branch so that merging the patch would create a merge commit.
+```
+$ git checkout master -q
+$ git commit --amend --allow-empty -q -m "Concurrent change"
+$ git rev-parse HEAD
+f65977beef04fcc5cd5395feed7ff4c37cd90a2f
+```
+
+Now let's merge the patch, creating a merge commit. We can see that one of the
+parents is the patch head.
+```
+$ git merge feature/1 -q --no-ff
+$ git show --format=raw HEAD
+commit 737a10cfa29111afeb0d43cf3545cee386b939ec

+committer radicle <radicle@localhost> 1671125284 +0000
+
+    Merge branch 'feature/1'
+
+```
+
+Finally, we push master and expect the patch to be merged.
+``` (stderr) RAD_SOCKET=/dev/null
+$ git push rad master
