Re: Git branching structure: ff or no-ff

I checked the GitHub docs. Unfortunately --no-ff is the default when using the "Merge" button in the browser and it
cannotbe changed! To have use fast-forward, Dave must always pull the change locally and merge it by hand. 

So for simplicitly we should live with --no-ff to make Dave's life easier, but I think it should be common to reduce
thenumber of commits per PR to one per feature/bug covered by the PR.

I think we'd better keep existing commits as is otherwise everybody
will have problems with on-going pull requests.

For new commits I suggest we use certain level of rebasing.
I suggest rebasing features on top of master before integration, so
the history is linear.

What do you think?

For instance: commit cddcd185  feat: Improved composite/array type support...
git checkout -b tmp cddcd185 # git fetch origin
pull/ID/head:BRANCHNAME && git checkout head:BRANCHNAME can be used
here to fetch a pull request from github
git rebase 008f6e8b2f8d # use rebase -i to squash commits as required.
008f6e8b2f8d was origin/master before cddcd185 merged in
git checkout master
git merge --ff-only tmp
git branch -D tmp # remove branch
