So an obvious thing we could do, if pull.mode is too much of a
change, is to make "pull --rebase" codepath honor pull.ff as well,
perhaps?  I.e. those who set pull.ff=only are saying that "please
stop me when I have any local change---I want to be notified if my
pull on this branch results in anything but a fast-forward from the
upstream".

And then making an unconfigured pull.ff to default to pull.ff=only
may give a proper failure whether you merge or rebase.  I dunno.
Yeah, I would be perfectly happy with that (and it's in fact what I
_thought_ was happening before today's discussion).

I do wonder if anybody has set:

   pull.rebase=true
   pull.ff=only

which would then refuse to rebase at all, and whether they would be
annoyed. I am scratching my head over why one would do that, though. It
is meaningful only if you usually rebase, but when you say "--no-rebase"
you want to make sure you do not create a merge commit. Which seems
weird.
I think you are losing track of the goal.

The goal is that *eventually*:

1. No warning is issued
2. No configuration is needed
3. The default behavior is sane.

The whole point of "pull.rebase=ff-only" (aka. "pull.mode=ff-only")
was to make it the *default*.

If you make "pull.ff=only" the default, *and* you make "git pull
--rebase" respect that, then "git pull --rebase" will fail by default
(unless it's a fast-forward).

What we really need is something like:

1. git pull # fail by default unless it's a fast-forward
2. git pull --merge # force a merge (unless it's a fast-forward,
depending on pull.ff)
3. git pull --rebase # force a rebase (unless it's a fast-forward,
depending on pull.ff)


This is the default I would expect.
