I sent the patch as a (newcomer) friend today asked if it's intentional
that -r is undocumented in 'man git-pull'.

And I do not think we particularly want to do

    +-r::
    +--r::
    +--re::
    +--reb::
    +--reba::
    +--rebas::
     --rebase::
            Rebase the current...

for obvious reasons.

I agree, however, we already document -q and --quiet, or -v and
--verbose in the same manpage, so I think it would be consistent to have
-r there as well.

Thanks,
