From 6b37dff17f176d7e87efa93b4cf521dd725de247 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C3=86var=20Arnfj=C3=B6r=C3=B0=20Bjarmason?= Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2011 10:50:10 +0100 Subject: pull: introduce a pull.rebase option to enable --rebase MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Currently we either need to set branch..rebase for existing branches if we'd like "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase", or have the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create the branch. Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch. This option will be considered at a lower priority than branch..rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and branch..rebase=false and the latter configuration option would win.
