| If you are using `git pull` and want to make `--rebase` the default, you can set the `pull.rebase` config value with something like `git config --global pull.rebase true`. | ||

What about something more like this:
If you only ever rebase commits that have never left your own computer, you'll be just fine.
If you rebase commits that have been pushed, but that no one else has based commits from, you'll also be fine.

I have form it in a way trying to minimize the additions in the book.
Another option would be to add some section about how git and rebase can play a role in continous integration systems.
