Hi,

While I understand that the merge after `git pull` is probably not the best strategy (as explained in [1]), asking people to change their configuration to choose their default strategy with every `git pull` is not any better. Please select any strategy considered more appropriate and stop warning me. I know I could change my configuration, but I'll change it just if I want to differ from defaults. I don't need to be told that I am using wrong default. I'd like to keep my trust in Git upstream, but this is was not trustworthy decision IMO.

BTW, I was motivated to open this discussion by this [2] Fedora ticket.
