[jboss-as7-dev] Preventing merge commits

[Jaikiran Pai]

I have been looking around some git docs, but can't find an answer to 
this. So asking here - Is it possible to set this option per (remote) 
repo level instead of per (local) branch level? For example, 
irrespective of which local branch I'm on (which I later push upstream), 
I don't want to accidentally push  non-fast forwardable revisions to 
upstream. Is that possible?
