[RFH] specifying rebase options when branch.<name>.rebase = true

In setting up our rebase-based workflow I'd like people to simply use "git pull". But "branch.<name>.rebase=true" gets me only halfway there.

The problem is that I'd like to rebase local merges as well, but have not seen a was to specify the --preserve-merges flag.

Am I missing something obvious?
