[RFC PATCH 0/2] Example of pull.mode

The discussions about the default mode of pull never end, since there's yet another discussion [1] about the relationship with pull.rebase=merges I'm sending a condensed version of my git update patches [2] which were not properly considered, but they solve the issue.

The two configurations in particular that are currently broken are:

    git config pull.mode merge
    git config pull.rebase merges
    git pull --rebase # same as --rebase=merges

And:

    git config pull.rebase true
    git pull --no-ff # no mode specified

These patches are *not* meant to be merged, they are just meant as reference for the new discussion.

I have the patches properly split and with tests, which I avoided here for the sake of simplicity.
