I admit that I'd be happy with a config option that just disabled pull entirely (forcing people to fetch/merge explicitly) to avoid this type of beginner mistake. With an unconfigured pull.rebase, this patch does that for merge/rebase cases, while still letting folks pull when it's a clean fast forward (usually ok). I'd also be happy with an opt-in disable. The real solution would be to talk my group out of using a central shared repository or into using pull-free feature branches, but I don't see either on my horizon. Git doesn't need to change to mitigate sloppy-shared-repo problems, but having some sort of anti-pull configuration option would certainly help me out.
