'fast-forward' is the state when your commits are a strict superset of
what is on the receiving end (what you want). Your problem is that git
is complaining about non-fast-forwards; that is, when your patches and
someone else's patches diverge, such that your patches are no longer a
superset of the receiving end. The two ways to fix non-fast-forwards
are merging and rebasing; automake favors merging for distinct topics
and rebasing for work on an existing topic, while gnulib enforces
rebasing only by forbidding merging so as to keep a linear history.
