I've used "--route-nopull" together with specific "--route" statements
to work around VPN setups that didn't work under specific circumstances
(the server pushes a heap of routes, some of which caused problems in
my setup [*], and I only wanted to reach a specific subnet via the VPN).

(*) specifically: some of the hosts in my scenario can be reached 
through the VPN, and without VPN.  Firing up the VPN and routing these
hosts through the VPN would break existing SSH sessions, as further
packets would get routed through the VPN, and the VPN server would not
accept the existing source address (not from VPN range).  Yes, not
your daily issue, but I was quite happy to have that knob to fiddle.
