Subject: [PATCH] subtree: force merge commit

When `merge.ff` is set to `only` in .gitconfig, `git subtree pull` will
fail with error `fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.`, but
the command does want to make merges in these places. Add `--no-ff`
argument to `git merge` to enforce this behaviour.
