Can this be made easier? I could imagine request-pull learning --ff-only that generates a message like Greg, Please pull --ff-only git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux-stable.git linux-2.6.34.y to get the following changes [...] which could work ok if the recipient notices the --ff-only, but I wonder if there is a simpler way.
