git log --no-merges

  See also git log --no-merges --first-parent I don't get the "no merge commits" argument - git log has dozens of options allowing you to bend it to your use case. To address the grand parent that "a clean history is has no merge commits" I would argue that a clean history is also a lie if you're working in a branching workflow (hint: you should be working in that most of the time). If you want to avoid (note: not eliminate) merge commits then make sure to rebase against master before merging, and then ensure merges are fast-forward merges.
