Actually there's at least one tree where this should be activated -- 
yours.  If you perform a fast-forward merge, there's no record of the 
merge, no record of which tree was pulled, and no sign-off from you.  
The commits just appear there.  It partially defeats the sign-off system.

This feature would be good for top-level trees and for major subsystem 
trees IMO.
