[PATCH 2/2] pull: change the description to "integrate" changes

From

Message-ID
<c13c6c4b15d1cfcaa140a8d71676ce330c32e9b9.1373223663.git.john@keeping.me.uk>

Since git-pull learned the --rebase option it has not just been about merging changes from a remote repository (where "merge" is in the sense of "git merge"). Change the description to use "integrate" instead of "merge" in order to reflect this.
