When rebase is run on a branch that can be fast-forwarded, this should automatically be done. Create test to ensure this behavior happens. There is one case that currently does not pass. In the case where a feature and master have diverged, running "git rebase master... master" causes a full rebase to happen even though a fast-forward should happen. Mark this case as failure so we can fix it later.
