Well, I thought I was in the above situation, but it seems that "origin" 
has been merged into "master" :/

The "pull, rebase, commit, commit, send patches, pull, ..." strategy 
used to work for me, but now it doesn't.

I want to do rebases.  So is it that behaviour of "git pull" that has 
been changed to do merges, and I should be using "fetch" instead of 
"pull" or something similar?

btw. I'm not the only person having this problem.  Others using the same 
commands, and upgrading GIT have run into it too, so something has 
changed...
