Simplify Merge Result dialog in case of no action.

The current dialog shows too much information and can be misleading:

At the top the result says: "Already-up-to-date", but below it says:
New HEAD <commit here>

==> "new" contradicts with up-to-date.

As simple dialog, saying that there was nothing to merge would be better.

There are also other results where there is no "New HEAD". Fix:
