This is a configuration option within gerrit - you can set a repository
or branch up to be fast forward only.  This is frequently done for
kernels as it's relatively easy for a change in one part of the code
base to interact with changes in another part (especially board changes
interacting with the drivers they instantiate) so the theory is that
this will force all the verification to be done with exactly the tree
that ends up in gerrit.

Obviously there's a tradeoff here with the rebases.
