Subject: git merge branch --no-commit does commit fast forward merges

Hi Git Mailinglist,
git merge branch --no-commit does commit fast forward merges
leaving users no way to change the merge results. The command only
works as expected when also adding the --no-ff flag. Looking at
the help text of the --no-commit flag I think that this might be a
unintended.
I've tested this on git 2.8.0.
This bug was first reported to magit
(https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/2620) whose maintainer then
suggested that it might be a git bug.
Best regards,
Christoph
