Subject: linux-next: unnecessary merge in the ubifs tree

Hi Artem,

I noticed merge commit 3527a86b7ae1 ("Merge tag 'v4.0-rc5' into
linux-next").  Just a note that if you had merged the commit that the
tag points to, you would have just had a fast forward instead of a
"real" merge.  Merging the tag forces the --no-ff flag on git merge
(and adding --ff does not change that).  You could have merged
"v4.0-rc5^0" (I think) or (apparently) pass --ff-only to get the fast
forward.

Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell                    sfr@canb•auug.org.au
