Disables the default fast forwarding on merge commits.
Use git config --add merge.ff false to disable fast-forward merging for all branches, even if it is possible.
You can use the --global flag to configure this option globally.
git config [--global] --add merge.ff false
git config --global --add merge.ff falsegit checkout master
git merge my-branch
# Will never fast forward even if it's possible
