+=head1 GIT CONFIGURATION
+
+This workflow does not support using B<git merge> to merge divergent
+branches of development (see "OTHER MERGES" in git-debrebase(5)). You
+should configure git such that B<git pull> does not try to merge:
+
+=over 4
+
+ % git config --local pull.rebase true
+
+=back
+
+Now when you pull work from other Debian contributors, git will rebase
+your work on top of theirs.
+
+If you use this repository for upstream development in addition to
+Debian packaging work, you may not want to set this global setting.
+Instead, see the B<branch.autoSetupRebase> and
+B<branch.E<lt>nameE<gt>.rebase> settings in git-config(5).
