Translation-wise we'd ideally make Yet Another Copy of almost the same
message. There's really no way around that sort of thing given the
tools we're using.
However we can probably get away with having a variable that
alternates between "pull" and "rebase", but I suspect those two words
will invoke different grammar rules in some languages, and thus will
impact the rest of the message.
So let's split this up when we resolve this conflict.
