I really don't care about this feature. But Randal's whining on #git made me stop what I was doing and write something that might turn into it.

Totally untested code. It might reformat your C:\ drive and install Windows ME. Install as $(git --exec-path)/git-merge-ffonly and call as `git merge -s ffonly`.

If you care about this sort of feature, test it, write tests for it, make a formal patch, and send it for review. No, I will not do this for you. As I said, I don't care about this as a feature.
