Description

We usually have two different types of merge-requests:

1. The MR contains multiple commits
2. The requester rebased everything into a nice single commit

So we don't want to enable fast-forward by default (for the first case), but in the second case we get two more or less identical commits.

Proposal

For the second case we'd to like have a checkbox on the merge-request creation form: to enable fast-forwarding for that particular merge-request.

An idea we had: Can we detect if we are in the first or second case and enable fast-forward automatically?
