The sentence about 'branch.<name>.rebase' refers to the first sentence
in the paragraph and not to the sentence about avoiding rebasing
non-local changes. Clarify this.

--rebase::
- Instead of a merge, perform a rebase after fetching. If
- there is a remote ref for the upstream branch, and this branch
- was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information
- to avoid rebasing non-local changes. To make this the default
- for branch `<name>`, set configuration `branch.<name>.rebase`
- to `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.
++
+See `branch.<name>.rebase` in linkgit:git-config[1] if you want to make
+`git pull` always use `{litdd}rebase` instead of merging.
+
[NOTE]
This is a potentially _dangerous_ mode of operation.
