Re: When are you going to stop ignoring pull.mode?

Initially I came from the situation where I (as maintainer of a
repository) proposed to do a `git pull --ff-only <remote-git-url> 
<branch-name>` for the others to integrate the newest changes safely
(i.e. failing if they had errouneously worked on that branch, which it 
is not intended for). I thought I could reach that safety with the
`--ff-only` part, but it seems one of the devs had pull.rebase set for 
him locally and thus managed to bypass my "safety". Mr. Elijah Newren
called this a bug, see [1].

Yes, I saw it and I agree with Elijah.

Thanks.
