True.  It is troubling that people try to avoid fast-forward (which
is a very cheap operation) and rebase their work on top of the other
side (which could unnecessarily smudge their object store with
pointless replaying of the commits) only because they want to avoid
the informational messages *and* there is an easy way to squelch
these messages.  There is some gap in documentation?

Thanks.
