I'd rather have description of the change in the commit message itself. You can add "See the documentation for details", but the basic description, like:

   This commit introcudes fast forward option 'only'.  With --ff=only
   merge succeeds only if it resolves to fast-forward merge.
 
It would be nice to have described either in commit message, or in the
documentation, _why_ it is needed for integration with AccuRev,
i.e. what features of AccuRev or of integration requires this.
