Lars Hjemli d66424c4ac git-merge: add --ff and --no-ff options
These new options can be used to control the policy for fast-forward
merges: --ff allows it (this is the default) while --no-ff will create
a merge commit.

--summary::
Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
controlled by the configuration option merge.diffstat.
-n, \--no-summary::
Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
--no-commit::
Perform the merge but pretend the merge failed and do
not autocommit, to give the user a chance to inspect and
further tweak the merge result before committing.
--commit::
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --no-commit.
--squash::
Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
merge happened, but do not actually make a commit or
move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
--no-squash::
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --squash.
--no-ff::
Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a
fast-forward.
--ff::
Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
the default behavior of git-merge.
-s <strategy>, \--strategy=<strategy>::
Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
is used instead (`git-merge-recursive` when merging a single
head, `git-merge-octopus` otherwise).
