The mechanism itself is simple. http://git.pastebin.com/m156a1856 A sane integration is a different story. We have --ff and --no-ff options to merge. How should this new option --ff-only mesh with them? Perhaps we would want to have an option --ff that takes three values? --ff=never --ff=normal --ff=only and have the first one be synonym for existing --no-ff, the second one to be a synonym for not giving anything (or giving --ff explicitly), and the third one to be this new mode of operation? - 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
