I think we need to make sure that we give instructions for how to go
back if the default hasn't done what you wanted.  Something like this:

    Your pull did not fast-forward, so Git has merged '$upstream' into
    your branch, which may not be correct for your project.  If you
    would rather rebase your changes, run

        git rebase

    See "pull.mode" in git-config(1) to suppress this message in the
    future.
