doc: merge-tree: improve example script

• Provide a commit message in the example command.

  The command will hang since it is waiting for a commit message on
  stdin.  Which is usable but not straightforward enough since this is
  example code.
• Use `||` directly since that is more straightforward than checking the
  last exit status.

  Also use `echo` and `exit` since `die` is not defined.
• Expose variable declarations.
