[zeromq-dev] merge commits in libzmq clutter the commit space.

Lets say you are merging in a branch "B" into "A". If "A" is directly
upstream from "B" git will just move the branch "A" onto "B". This is
a "Fast forward". Pull requests are a non fast forward merge. There is
an explicit merge commit saying you are merging "B" onto "A". I like
these sorts of commits.
