I am running git version 2.10.0, and running git merge --help contains these lines: --ff When the merge resolves as a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer, without creating a merge commit. This is the default behavior. --no-ff Create a merge commit even when the merge resolves as a fast-forward. This is the default behaviour when merging an annotated (and possibly signed) tag. --ff-only Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the current HEAD is already up-to-date or the merge can be resolved as a fast-forward. > > This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or > proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity > to which it is addressed.
