I always did this but seldom get response. :-)

- --no-ff is sometimes a good idea, sometimes not. I think that should be
used where it is reasonable. For example I might cherry-pick several
commits fixing small thinks into a temp branch. As long as nobody did
did something in master a ff might be reasonable. In other cases where
there is a new feature --no-ff is the best way.
