Question: I have, where do you set this preference? I tried settings -> Team -> git -> Configuration -> Repository Settings, and then in the [Core] settings mergeoptions = --no-ff, but this does not work.

The following merge options are recognized, which are used for all branches:

[merge] ff = true|false|only

If you want to configure it only for a specific branch, use the following:

 [branch "name"] mergeoptions = --ff|--no-ff|--ff-only

I have also expanded the description into New and Noteworthy .
