# This script fast-forwards a branch (main_branch) to another branch
# (topic_branch), if possible. It is equivalent to git checkout
# main_branch && git merge --ff-only topic_branch, but the effort of
# checking out the main branch is saved (git branch -f is used to update
# the reference directly).
