Yes. If you look in your .git/config, adding the "rebase = true" line will
set --rebase for all pulls from master.
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
rebase = true

Not short of repository surgery. Remember the hash chain - git is actually
designed to make it difficult to modify old commits.

Theoretically possible, but probably a bad idea. We will probably have to
do real branch merges occasionally.
