Good Lord, who wrote that, and when? Clearly someone with a serious lack 
of Git knowlegde - just the thing I described 2 replies ago.

"
However, we propose to mandate making merge commits illegal in our
canonical Git repository.

WTF? Branching and Merging are two key feature of Git. So if the don't 
want merging (or only allow fast-forward merges), I guess they want to 
Rebase everything everybody contributes - yeah the lovely linear history 
of SubVersion.... because they don't know better.
