Merge with --no-ff.  In our workflow, there is usually plenty of
parallelism and branches (are supposed to) be integrated in 'next'
before merging to 'master', so a merge could almost never fast-forward
anyway.

Yeah, you can't use it for this release, but with a small tweak to the
workflow, you can make it work and not have merge conflicts on the
ChangeLog file.  (The more parallelism you have in development and
integration, the more likely conflicts are to arise.  They're not hard
to resolve, but it's a manual process.)
