[PATCH 0/4] doc: git-pull: clarify DESCRIPTION section

["Julia Evans via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

I got feedback from 15 Git users on the current git pull man page, using
this tool: https://text-feedback.wizardzines.com/git-pull.

My goals here are to be clear about the relationship between git pull and
fetch/merge/rebase etc, make sure users know the current default for git
pull (--ff-only) since some folks still remember the old default, and to
help users quickly figure out what command they need to run to
merge/rebase/squash/etc.

I've taken a pretty aggressive approach because I think it's possible to
have a pretty short and focused DESCRIPTION section here while keeping the
most important info. Open to hearing that I've removed too much.

This references the UPSTREAM BRANCHES section from
https://lore.kernel.org/git/0ec629d4037bf5d1ccc248ca1bbd87ccc08119a3.1757703309.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
, so if that isn't merged I'll need to revisit the approach here.
