mvn gitflow:release - allow fast-forward merge of developmentBranch to productionBranch

[DemonicTutor]

When using mvn gitflow:release the branch develop is merged back to master using a merge-commit.

I would like to have the option to use a fast-forward commit / rebase-merge.

Although original article recommends using --no-ff, the fast-forward could make sense in some cases.

Personally i prefer rebase because merge-commit just look more cluttered and as if there is "something important" ... when in reality its just a update to the branch master.... there is no important information - just making it look more complex (some may say fancier) than it really is.

Personal preference.
