You have a point, perhaps this should be changed to git-fetch + git-merge?

Well my reasoning is that it's because git-pull --rebase requires more code to be implemented than git-pull. So I'm thinking that git-pull --rebase is more likely to break than git-pull.

Yes, ultimately the git-pull rewrite must re-implement everything, but if this test suite is affected by any git-pull (--rebase) breakage, then there will be lots of patch noise as this test suite's tests get disabled/re-enabled in the git-pull rewrite patches.

But if the patch noise is okay, then I'm fine with dropping this patch and 07/12.

Thanks, Paul
