After StGIT pops all the patches, it just calls "git pull origin". My
understanding of GIT is that this should update local RELENG_1 with
the remote RELENG_1 from the "origin" repository. Anything wrong with
my assumptions?


No. But the it merge the first pull line in .git/remotes/origin into
the current branch. So he only has to put the RELENG_1 line the first,
as:

URL: /usr/local/pfSense/upstream/pfSense/.git
Pull: refs/heads/RELENG_1:refs/heads/RELENG_1
Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin
Pull: refs/heads/avendor:refs/heads/avendor
Pull: refs/heads/Package-Reorg-2005:refs/heads/Package-Reorg-2005
