Comments? Do people think it would be a good idea to do git merge --no-fast-forward -m "Merge feature Xyz" xyz-branch as an option?
Actually there's at least one tree where this should be activated -- yours. If you perform a fast-forward merge, there's no record of the merge, no record of which tree was pulled, and no sign-off from you. The commits just appear there. It partially defeats the sign-off system.
This feature would be good for top-level trees and for major subsystem trees IMO.
