Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation: "git pull" does not have the "-m" option
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:57:03 -0800 [thread overview]

explanation of the interaction between this option and the "-m"
option does not make sense within the context of "git pull". Use
the conditional inclusion mechanism to remove this part from "git
pull" documentation, while keeping it for "git merge".
