From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Git for Windows' original 4aa8b8c8283 (Teach 'git pull' to handle --rebase=interactive, 2011-10-21) had support for the very convenient abbreviation

	git pull --rebase=i

which was later lost when it was ported to the builtin `git pull`, and it was not introduced before the patch eventually made it into Git as f5eb87b98dd (pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive, 2016-01-13).

However, it is *really* a useful short hand for the occasional rebasing pull on branches that do not usually want to be rebased.

So let's reintroduce this convenience, at long last.
