cover Support git pull --rebase=i <remote> <branch>

The patch [https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/4aa8b8c82] that introduced support for pull --rebase=<type> into the Git for Windows project still allowed the very convenient abbreviation

git pull --rebase=i

which was later lost when it was ported to the builtin git pull, and it was not introduced before the patch eventually made it into Git as f5eb87b98dd (pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive, 2016-01-13).

However, it is really a useful short hand for the occasional rebasing pull on branches that do not usually want to be rebased.

So let's reintroduce this convenience, at long last.

PATCH 1/1 pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations for the type

From: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

Git for Windows' original 4aa8b8c8283 (Teach 'git pull' to handle --rebase=interactive, 2011-10-21) had support for the very convenient abbreviation

	git pull --rebase=i

which was later lost when it was ported to the builtin git pull, and it was not introduced before the patch eventually made it into Git as f5eb87b98dd (pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive, 2016-01-13).

However, it is *really* a useful short hand for the occasional rebasing pull on branches that do not usually want to be rebased.

So let's reintroduce this convenience, at long last.

Makes sense, whether this patch is adding back what in the past existed only in the Windows port but lost, and whether the lossage was long time ago or in just a few releases go, or it is adding a complete new feature for that matter. This looks like a good short-hand.

Will queue.

I agree with the shorthand, but I really think this should be documented. The amount of people who'll discover this by reading the code is much smaller than those who might discover it via the docs.

Good eyes. It's not like that parsing these three is implemented with one thing; in other words, it is not hard to break one without breaking the other two.

Having said that, that can be done as a follow-up "oops, the original was sloppy" patch. It's not as bad compared to "oops, the original was totally borked and here is a fix", so I am OK with that ;-)
