I'm happy to use more accurate phrasing -- I was just going for a minimal change.

How about the following, consistent for both cases:

'git pull' merges branch master with remote branch
  master
'git pull' rebases branch rebaser on top of remote branch
  side

?

I like the above because the keywords & branch names are in consistent locations, making it easier to parse the output.
