There are a whole slew of these pages under Git/Help that don't exist.
I'm trying hard to avoid being the one who writes them. (Kudos to Rob
Carr for being the first one to write one:

The error message actually tells you what to do. In most cases, a simple
'git pull --rebase' is sufficient. It does exactly what you want:

 - Rebases the changes on the current branch against it
 - Discard merge commits
