[PATCH] pull: don't say that merge is "the default strategy"

From: Alex Henrie <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Git no longer has a default strategy for reconciling divergent branches,
because there's no way for Git to know which strategy is appropriate in
any particular situation.

The initially proposed version of commit
031e2f7ae195069d00d21cde906fce5b0318dbdd, "pull: abort by default when
fast-forwarding is not possible", dropped this phrase from the message.
It appears that leaving it in the message in the final version of the
patch was accidental.
