Yes that's a great recommendation and it should definitely be included
IMHO! However, the merge.ff option is relatively new and is not available
in many older Git clients that are still in use. So the --no-ff tag will
still probably be necessary for some people. Perhaps we should recommend
both, or would that make things too confusing?
