+branch.<name>.rebase::
+	When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
+	instead of merging the default branch from the default remote.

 clean.requireForce::
 	A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f

+\--rebase::
+	Instead of a merge, perform a rebase after fetching.
+	*NOTE:* This is a potentially _dangerous_ mode of operation.
+	It rewrites history, which does not bode well when you
+	published that history already.  Do *not* use this option
+	unless you have read gitlink:git-rebase[1] carefully.
+
+\--no-rebase::
+	Override earlier \--rebase.
