First, I notice that git-rebase supports a --s/--strategy option (which implies -m/--merge). I wonder whether it should respect branch.<name>.mergeoptions as the default for this setting?

(BTW, git-rebase's USAGE/LONG_USAGE doesn't match its man page. Also, the man page synopsis doesn't include all the options the man page documents later on.)

Second, git-pull completely ignores -s/--strategy if also give --rebase, but I wonder if it shouldn't just pass the strategy along to git-rebase.

Thoughts?
