I was briefly considering it.

But the point is this: I know exactly if I want to rebase my branch onto 
upstream, or if I want to merge it.  There is not much point in mixing the 
two.

So my rationale was: if we already have an existing framework to integrate 
remote changes with our current branch, why not just go ahead and use it?  
That's the reason BTW why I originally wanted a "rebase" merge stragegy.  
Even if it is not technically a merge.

I really rather have no user-friendly support for fetch+rebase (and utter 
a friendly, but loud curse everytime I made a "git pull" by mistake) than 
yet another command.

Ciao,
Dscho
