Update documentation so that users pass --no-rebase to the git-pull
command when using the subtree merge strategy. Without it, if a user
has specified in their config file that branch.master.rebase=true,
the pull will fail with the following error:
From /disk2/git_projects/git/Bproject
* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD
First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
fatal: Could not parse object 'c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0^'
Unknown exit code (128) from command: git-merge-subtree c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0^ -- HEAD c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0
The hash value referenced above is the first commit made to the main
repository (not the Bproject subtree).
