Subject: Re: [PATCH] docs: Clarify "preserve" option wording for git-pull

From: Sebastian Schuberth <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2015 21:11:21 +0100

Before this path, the "also" sounded as if "preserve" was doing a rebase
as additional work that "true" would not do. Clarify this by omitting the
"also" and rewording the sentence a bit.
