That's nonsensical since any non fast-forward commit consists of the
combination of fast-forwarding (direct) commits with a subsequent merge
commit of two branches with diverging history.  Rebased commits, in
contrast, are just what would have resulted from linear development.

It may be easier on the developer, but certainly not on the reader.
