I tend to "git pull --rebase", so that local config changes "stay on top" and don't become a merge commit.

In general, I recommend against "git pull" unless you are intentionally trying to merge something. (Fast-forwards are a special case of merging.)

Good point, although I maintain different environment configurations separate from the code base (or .gitignore anything that doesn't fall into that).
