Yeah, we have taught "git-pull == git-fetch + git-merge" to our
users, and "-s strategy" has been a way to specify _how_ the
merge is done, and not about doing something that is not a
merge.

As you say, rebase is not doing a merge.  But neither is "squash".

"git-pull --rebase == git-fetch + git-rebase" might be simpler
for end users to understand.  I dunno.
