That expectation needs to be adjusted with s/--ff/--ff-only/, I think.

The "--no-ff" option says "Never do fast-forward and always create extra
commit even when the side branch is a descendant", and the "--ff" option
is a way to countermand it, i.e. "It is ok to fast-forward this merge".

And there is another one "I do not want anything bug fast forward", and
that is spelled --ff-only.
