If you were to go that route, no dashes in the last component of
configuration variable names, please.

I think we have a recent update that allows you to say
[pull]
rebase = false
to mean "I want 'git pull' to use merge". Currently the other
choice is:
[pull]
rebase = true
to say "I want to run 'git pull --rebase'". I do not think it is
unreasonable to extend it further so that
[pull]
rebase = preserve
is understood.
