I'm also in favor of linear history, option #1. FWIW I don't think lacking tight controls to prevent merges is going to be a huge deal. We already restrict who can commit, and there are lots of other rules you have to follow.
We might get an accidental merge or two every once in a while, but I expect we'll all be able to live with that?
