--no-ff is currently a command line option only.

astubbs avatar Apr 09 '10 02:04 astubbs

It could.

is this feature still planned? i need it very often as we use the git branching model at http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

Not an argument to not fix this, but: I used to always merge with --no-ff, but realized the extra information is not worth the downsides, especially making it harder to track down bugs with git bisect. A good post on this topic: http://darwinweb.net/articles/the-case-for-git-rebase
