So I have a rebase vs pull question:

Lets say I have a PR, if I merge that to my local tree using "git pull 
--rebase remote-repro branch-name" then I get a nice clean history 
locally without those pesky merge commits cluttering everything up.  But...

Now I can't fast-forward when I push to the remote, *because I've 
changed the existing history of the develop branch*.  Would this not be 
a) bad form, and b) potentially dangerous to push to the remote develop 
branch?

Still don't understand Git yours, John.
