Re: [PATCH] docs: Clarify "preserve" option wording for git-pull

"still" instead of "also".

I agree that the original "also" is confusing.  I however wonder if
we even want "still", though.  For that matter, I doubt if we even
want "also" in front of "pass".  "When set to preserve, rebase and
pass the extra flag" sounds as clear as, if not clearer than, "When
set to preserve, still rebase and also pass the extra flag", at
least to me.

Thanks.

Before this path, the "also" sounded as if "preserve" was doing a rebase
as additional work that "true" would not do. Clarify this by omitting the
"also" and rewording the sentence a bit.
