Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive

Johannes Schindelin [off-list ref] writes:

The way builtin pull works, this change also supports the value
'interactive' for the 'branch.<name>.rebase' config variable, which
is a neat thing because users can now configure given branches for
interactively-rebasing pulls without having to type out the complete
`--rebase=interactive` option every time they pull.

Surely this is a better description about the "config also works and
it is a good thing" part.  What I was alluding to was actually this
you wrote in 0/3:

    A couple of years ago, I found the need to collaborate on topic
    branches that were rebased all the time, and I really needed to
    see what I was rebasing when pulling, so I introduced an
    interactively-rebasing pull.

that justifies why allowing 'pull' to invoke interactive rebase is a
good thing, which should go before all of the above five lines.

I see you have v3 already (and I read Paul's "you missed these"),
which I haven't read yet, but I expect the actual changes are good
and no longer need rerolling, so I may just insert these four lines
at the beginning of the log message while queuing, or something.

Thanks, both.

Oh, that's what you meant! Sorry for misunderstanding, and thanks for not
requiring a reroll.
