Only if only *one* person ever does any merges.

Immediately when you have other people merging code, you're now back in 
the same boat.

This is why I personally think the whole policy of "no fast forward" is 
totally broken. It's only usable in a non-distributed environment, where 
there is one central person who does everythng (a so-called "star 
topology").
