Description

After updating the merge commit template in a PR (via changing .gitea/default_merge_message/MERGE_TEMPLATE.md in a repo), I expect that the PR web UI immediately reflects this change after I press the "Create merge commit" button in the screenshot below. Instead, I have to commit the PR first, and if I get it wrong, I have to do another PR.

Looking at the code, it appears that the relevant code is:
47d69b7749/services/pull/merge.go (L68-L73)
and that the fix involves retrieving the template from the head repo rather than the base repo. This doesn't appear to be a difficult fix (assuming that there are no design issues) but I currently do not know enough Gitea (and Go) to be certain.
