Right now I do not have time to dig mailing list archive around mid March 2006, and I do not recall the requestor's original rationale, but I have a vague recollection that we added this "no fast-forward check" specifically in response to a user request. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
