+  Git has been configured for FS successfully.
+
+  branch.master.rebase has been set to true
+
+    This means that when you do a 'git pull' to fetch remote changes,
+    your local changes will be rebased on top of the remote changes.
+    This does NOT rewrite history on the remote FS repo, but it does
+    change the commit hashes in your local tree.
+
+    If you really want to merge rather than rebasing, run:
+
+      git merge [refspec]
+
+    See 'man git-config' for more information.
