Subject: [PATCH 3/3] git pull: Support --preserve-merges as a flag to rebase

From: Andreas Ericsson <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:58:20 +0200

Now that "git rebase" supports non-interactive rebases
preserving merges, this patch is the next logical step
for those who wish to use such a workflow.

Since this patch makes the last test marked as expecting
failure in t3409-rebase-preserve-merges, we now alter it
to expect success.
