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").
