No it isn't. Elijah is elevating to fact his opinion of what --ff-only should be changed to. But it has not been changed. Today --ff-only is meant only for the merge mode of `git pull`, and like other merge-only options (e.g. --ff, --no-ff, and --squash) it's ignored in the rebase mode. -- Felipe Contreras
