I'll look at the latest patch. All merges will be disabled for no, see
below.

I think we need to subscribe the sender to -cvslog. Who admins that

Yes, it even refuses pushes with merge commits in it. Speaking from

most devs are comfortable with git. This means rebase or
git pull --rebase is required before pushing. I'll update the howto to
reflect this.
