Quoting Junio C Hamano [off-list ref]
Ah, in your defense ;-) I think you looked only at git-fetch.txt without
checking where else this file is included. Then the patch certainly is
understandable. It would probably make git-fetch.{1,html} easier to scan,
while making things not worse for git-pull.{1,html}
Can't we introduce subsections in the OPTIONS section to
group them together, like this (sorry, not a patch)?
OPTIONS
-------
Options related to merging <---- added
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <---- added
include::merge-options.txt[]
:git-pull: 1
--rebase::
Instead of a merge, perform a rebase after fetching. If
there is a remote ref for the upstream branch, and this branch
was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information
to avoid rebasing non-local changes. To make this the default
for branch `<name>`, set configuration `branch.<name>.rebase`
to `true`.
+
[NOTE]
This is a potentially _dangerous_ mode of operation.
It rewrites history, which does not bode well when you
published that history already. Do *not* use this option
unless you have read linkgit:git-rebase[1] carefully.
--no-rebase::
Override earlier --rebase.
