My gut feeling is that "-m" without "--merge" in the context of "pull" is extremely unlikely to fly well. As "git pull" is a "git fetch" followed by a "git merge" (or "git rebase"), it takes the union of common command line options from both phases, and "git merge" takes "-m 'message'" which is an option fairly familiar to users (since it comes from "git commit"). Even if we are never going to pass "-m message" from "git pull" down to underlying "git merge", squatting on short and common "-m" would be a bad idea.
