This patch-series implements support for per branch configuration of git-merge, using entries (branch.<name>.mergeoptions) in .git/config. Since this makes it possible to specify --no-commit and --squash as default options for git-merge, the new options --commit and --no-squash are added to enable users to override such defaults. There is also a new option, --no-ff, which can be used to force git-merge to create a merge commit even when the merge was a fast-forward (and a matching --ff option to allow overrides).
