I agree that if we were starting from scratch, things would have
been much simpler; choose among three ways to reconcile histories
(merge, rebase, or ff-only), without adding --[no-]rebase, and allow
--[no-]ff only when merging (i.e. things like --ff-only --ff,
--no-ff --rebase, would be nonsense combinations). The additional
complexity of introducing pull.mode is the primary thing I am
hesitant to support it, as we have to design and explain how
existing knobs interact with newer one.

Meaning "once you choose between rebase or merge, facing a non-ff
history would not trigger the advice message"? I think that is
already the case with the released versions of Git, and I think that
is a good thing to keep. The advice is only for unconfigured folks
who did not tell --[no-]rebase from the command line. One bad thing
about it in the released versions is that it would trigger even when
the history fast-forwards. The latest round of patches in 'seen'
squelches the advice when pulling a fast-forward history even for
unconfigured folks as we'd just fast-forward without erroring out.

Pretty much.
