I'd also like such a feature.

[It seems like such an obvious partner to "--no-ff" (etc), that it's
kind of surprising it isn't there already -- I think there have been
multiple times in the past where I've spent time grovelling the
pull/merge documentation looking for the right option name to do this,
only to give up in confusion when I couldn't find it...]
