Subject: pull: abort by default when fast-forwarding is not possible

We have for some time shown a long warning when the user does not
specify how to reconcile divergent branches with git pull.  Make it an
error now.

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 
-Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current
-branch.  In its default mode, `git pull` is shorthand for
-`git fetch` followed by `git merge FETCH_HEAD`.
-
-More precisely, 'git pull' runs 'git fetch' with the given
-parameters and calls 'git merge' to merge the retrieved branch
-heads into the current branch.
-With `--rebase`, it runs 'git rebase' instead of 'git merge'.
+Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch.
+If the current branch is behind the remote, then by default it will
+fast-forward the current branch to match the remote.  If the current
+branch and the remote have diverged, the user needs to specify how to
+reconcile the divergent branches with `--no-ff`, `--ff`, or `--rebase`
+(or the corresponding configuration options in `pull.ff` or
+`pull.rebase`).
+
+More precisely, `git pull` runs `git fetch` with the given parameters
+and then depending on configuration options or command line flags,
+will call either `git merge` or `git rebase` to reconcile diverging
+branches.
 
 <repository> should be the name of a remote repository as
 passed to linkgit:git-fetch[1].  <refspec> can name an
