If you were to go that route, no dashes in the last component of
configuration variable names, please.

I think we have a recent update that allows you to say

        [pull]
                rebase = false

to mean "I want 'git pull' to use merge".  Currently the other
choice is:

        [pull]
                rebase = true

to say "I want to run 'git pull --rebase'".  I do not think it is
unreasonable to extend it further so that

        [pull]
                rebase = preserve

is understood.
