If you want to track it, add a plus (+) sign to the proper line in your .git/remotes/origin file, like this: Pull: +refs/heads/pu:refs/heads/pu Which tells git to deal with the problem for you by merging instead of fast forwarding. Or you can just delete that line completely if you don't want to track the pu branch at all.
