This is an old topic rehashed from time to time. The last time was March this year if I recall correctly.

I tend to agree that it would make sense to allow something like:

    $ git merge --no-fast-forward -m 'Merge topic XYZ' xyz

but at the same time Linus is pretty clear that he would not use that for his kernel merges, so even if we add that feature, gitweb at k.org that shows linux-2.6 history would not see it.
