Fast-forward is a really good idea. Perhaps you could implement it,
if it is not hidden under different name?

We support it as 'pull', but merge doesn't do it automatically, because
we'd rather have merge behave the same all the time, and because 'pull'
throws away your local commit ordering.

I smell yet another terminology conflict (although this time fault is
on the git side), namely that in git terminology "pull" is "fetch"
(i.e. getting changes done in remote repository since laste "fetch"
or since "clone") followed by merge. pull = fetch + merge.

AAUI, the initial claim was that after a rebase, git can do a
fast-forward, but Aaron has missed the /after a rebase/ part.

And yes, it the bzr terminology, bzr can do a "pull" after a "graft".
I don't think there's a fundamental difference here.
