-----------
Runs `git-fetch` with the given parameters, and calls `git-merge`
to merge the retrieved head(s) into the current branch.
+With `--rebase`, calls `git-rebase` instead of `git-merge`.
Note that you can use `.` (current directory) as the
<repository> to pull from the local repository -- this is useful
when merging local branches into the current branch.
+Also note that options meant for `git-pull` itself and underlying
+`git-merge` must be given before the options meant for `git-fetch`.
OPTIONS
-------
include::merge-options.txt[]
+:git-pull: 1
+
+\--rebase::
+ Instead of a merge, perform a rebase after fetching. If
+ there is a remote ref for the upstream branch, and this branch
+ was rebased since last fetched, the rebase uses that information
+ to avoid rebasing non-local changes. To make this the default
+ for branch `<name>`, set configuration `branch.<name>.rebase`
+ to `true`.
++
+*NOTE:* This is a potentially _dangerous_ mode of operation.
+It rewrites history, which does not bode well when you
+published that history already. Do *not* use this option
+unless you have read linkgit:git-rebase[1] carefully.
+
+\--no-rebase::
+ Override earlier \--rebase.
