I agree that it's a bit strange, but based on a quick search, it seems
multiple projects already advertise git pull -r (i.e. not --rebase and
not a configuration option):

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/pulling-and-rebasing
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Git_For_LibreOffice_Developers
http://www.wiremod.com/forum/wiremod-general-chat/29517-git-introduction-incomplete-unformatted.html

So it seems making -r refer to --recurse-submodules would already cause
quite some pain to users.
