git merge branch --no-commit does commit fast forward merges

Hi Git Mailinglist, git merge branch --no-commit does commit fast forward merges leaving users no way to change the merge results. The command only works as expected when also adding the --no-ff flag. Looking at the help text of the --no-commit flag I think that this might be a unintended.
I've tested this on git 2.8.0.

This bug was first reported to magit (https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/2620) whose maintainer then suggested that it might be a git bug.

Best regards,
Christoph
