Subject: [PATCH v2] Documentation/git-pull: clarify configuration
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 08:13:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289373188-32543-1-git-send-email-martin.von.zweigbergk@gmail.com> (raw)

The sentence about 'branch.<name>.rebase' refers to the first sentence
in the paragraph. Clarify by putting it in a separate paragraph.

Text provided by Jonathan Nieder.

 --rebase::
-	Instead of a merge, perform a rebase after fetching.  If
-	there is a remote ref for the upstream branch, and this branch
-	was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information
-	to avoid rebasing non-local changes. To make this the default
-	for branch `<name>`, set configuration `branch.<name>.rebase`
-	to `true`.
+	Instead of merging, rebase the current branch on top of the
+	upstream branch after fetching.  If there is a remote-tracking
+	branch corresponding to the upstream branch and the upstream
+	branch was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that
+	information to avoid rebasing non-local changes.
+
+	The default behavior is to merge rather than rebasing, but it
+	can be overridden per branch with the `branch.<name>.rebase`
+	configuration item (see git-config(1)).
 +
 [NOTE]
 This is a potentially _dangerous_ mode of operation.
