So in the default warning we want to provide our users with a command that does the most sensible thing, fixes the divergence, gets rid of the warning, with the minimum mental effort, and happens to be the default: git pull --no-rebase (later --merge) In addition, we don't want to start by recommending a permanent configuration, but a temporary solution so they start training their fingers and maybe learn how to do a rebase. So we start with the commands. Also, we need to be clear about what we mean by "specifying"; merge, or rebase. Moreover, thanks to the previous patch now "git pull --help" explains what a fast-forward is, let's mention that reference. And finally, use --global in the configuration commands like we did with push.default.
