I do, but I watch for the fast-forward message

I wouldn't mind that, but I have a century of newbies who are used
to having other people's changes appear in their workspace without
any interaction. Teaching them the mainline thing (aka first-parent)
and the commands to properly merge&push is...tricky.

And that goes for every user base, so some improvement would be
greatly appreciated.
