Avoid creating merge commit

[piyushchauhan2011]

I want to know if it's possible if we can avoid creating merge commit and do a fast forward with some option. Right now it creates two commits

e.g. https://github.com/piyushchauhan2011/bug-free-palm-tree/commits/staging

Yes I would like to know this too. For example when there is no changes to be applied it will create an empty commit that does nothing.

I have made a pull request that skips merges for fast-forwards https://github.com/devmasx/merge-branch/pull/28

It would be handy to have a configuration like:

allow_fastforward: true
