-----------
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`.

\--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.
-
- *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.
