-NOTE: Updates will now show a warning from Git about
-      the merge strategy. Simply set the desired merge strategy
-      and the warning will disappear.
-
-Examples:
-
-git config pull.rebase false  # merge (the default strategy)
-git config pull.rebase true   # rebase
-git config pull.ff only       # fast-forward only
-
-TIP: --global can be used to set this user-wide.
