OK. After thinking about it further, "overrides" is not the word,
either, I guess. It is more like that there are "merge", "rebase"
and "fast-forward-only" for the user to choose from, with "merge"
having two sub-variants (i.e. what happens when we do not have any
development of our own) and "rebase" with a few sub-variants
(i.e. interactive? shape-preserving?).
In any case, when the user says "I'll take nothing but fast-forward
update to their history", it is a bug if we did not fail when their
history is not a descendant of ours, and we have already fixed it in
an earlier part of the series. This would be a good place to
clarify what the correct behaviour ought to be, if the existing
documentation is not already.
Thanks.
