[GitFlow](https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow-avh) is a very standard and widely used workflow. The use of `--first-parent` breaks this workflow and any other workflow that tags a release branch rather than the trunk (develop/master/etc.)....

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Branching models are darn close to religious opinions... :) So I don't want to belabor any debate about which model is "best". Also,...

A few comments: - It would be perfectly reasonable to use `--first-parent` on `master` for example, and not on `develop`. I'd say it is more of a branch level decision...
