I prefer to do my updates starting at master and working backwards. I am 
not sure what the split is for this amoung our developers.

It would be nice to have a check that the merges are all fast forwards. If 
not, I am not sure you want this happening automatically.

This is likely to drag change log entries along that don't apply, that might on 
rare occasions cause some confusion.
