.. or any branch use, for that matter.

I do agree that "git merge --rebase" is potentially convenient, I'm just 
not sure it's a great idea to document as such. People shouldn't do it 
unless they really *really* understand the implications, and I think the 
implications are much easier to understand if you instead teach them 
"fetch+rebase", and perhaps even keep the "merge --rebase" option entirely 
undocumented.
