I actually think "--rebase" squatting on short-and-sweet "-r" was an
accident, and we are saved by not endorsing "pull -r" by documenting
it. We can still use "-r" for "--recurse-submodules" if that proves
to give more value than "--rebase" to our users.
So I dunno. I personally do not think either deserves a short-and-sweet
single letter option.
