Just a note: the same could be achieved by "git pull --rebase", or even
turned to be permanent:

    git config branch.develop.rebase true
    git pull # it will rebase instead of merge now

Note, however, that rebase is not the same as merge, so it could be
dangerous in some cases. There are many explanations around why is it
so; for example, this one:
