Re: I want "fast forward my workdir to upstream if it's safe"

I read it as a request for pull/merge --ff-only (based on "abort if the
workdir is dirty or is not a fast-forward update").  This feature  has
been implemented twice, but never included:

I'd also like such a feature.

[It seems like such an obvious partner to "--no-ff" (etc), that it's
kind of surprising it isn't there already -- I think there have been
multiple times in the past where I've spent time grovelling the
pull/merge documentation looking for the right option name to do this,
only to give up in confusion when I couldn't find it...]
