As "git merge" fast forwards if possible, it seems sensible to have such a feature for "git cherry-pick" too, especially as it could be used in git-rebase--interactive.sh. Maybe this option could be made the default in the long run, with another --no-ff option to disable this default behavior, but that could make some scripts backward incompatible and/or that would require testing if some GIT_AUTHOR_* environment variables are set. So we don't do that for now.
I would still like to have a no-op --no-ff so that scripts that do rely on that can be future proofed (or also, scripts that do "git cherry-pick $blah -e COMMIT" could use --no-ff to avoid errors in case $blah contains --ff).
