Update documentation so that users pass --no-rebase to the git-pull command when using the subtree merge strategy. Without it, if a user has specified in their config file that branch.master.rebase=true, the pull will fail with the following error:
>From /disk2/git_projects/git/Bproject
* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... fatal: Could not parse object 'c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0^' Unknown exit code (128) from command: git-merge-subtree c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0^ -- HEAD c54bafddcae4679e8a675713251ace678f962aa0
