Makes sense.

One slightly less boring case. Is it possible to merge when the simplified history, looking only at changes outside the narrow tree, would have permitted a fast-forward?

If so, a git contributor who is only interested in Documentation/ could work on "next" between releases and keep up with "maint" and "master" longer term, without the help of a full-tree-merging machine.

More realistically, a linux-2.6 contributor only interested in one subsystem could always keep up with "master". Which would be nice.
