Because checking what is "needed" requires non-trivial effort, and there
is no reason to put this burden on user when it is possible to do the
same automatically...

Regarding "hg pull --rebaseif", not every project is strictly
distributed, people happen to strictly cooperate on single change,
especially in business environments.
