Two additional bad defaults: crlf handling on Windows, and pull not defaulting to rebase.

The message "up to date with origin/master" is also misleading, because it doesn't check the remote itself.

Pull defaulting to rebase could be a dangerous and chaotic default. If you want to argue that pulling should be fast-forward-only, then I'd say maybe you have a case.

I have aliases ff for fast-forward-only merges and puff for fast-forward-only pulls. I never type `git pull` anymore, and it's much harder to shoot your foot off with the aliases.
