Sorry, I'm not sure I follow: the pull.rebase = preserve setting is
only for the "pull" command, right? It doesn't affect "merge" and
commands that invoke "merge", like "cherry-pick", right?
If so, why would I need to configure my feature branches differently,
if I don't intend to pull into them from upstream?
My workflow with feature branches is create the branch; do the work;
when it's almost done, merge from master and test; then merge back
into master and push. There's no pulling here except from upstream to
master.

Well, I prefer merging instead, see above.
