Merge branch 'sh/pull-rebase-preserve'
"git pull --rebase" always flattened the history; pull.rebase can now be set to "preserve" to invoke "rebase --preserve-merges". * sh/pull-rebase-preserve: pull: allow pull to preserve merges when rebasing

---rebase::
- Rebase the current branch on top of the upstream branch after
- fetching. If there is a remote-tracking branch corresponding to
- the upstream branch and the upstream branch was rebased since last
- fetched, the rebase uses that information to avoid rebasing
- non-local changes.
+--rebase[=false|true|preserve]::
+ When true, rebase the current branch on top of the upstream
+ branch after fetching. If there is a remote-tracking branch
+ corresponding to the upstream branch and the upstream branch
+ was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information
+ to avoid rebasing non-local changes.
++
+When preserve, also rebase the current branch on top of the upstream
+branch, but pass `--preserve-merges` along to `git rebase` so that
+locally created merge commits will not be flattened.
++
+When false, merge the current branch into the upstream branch.
