Do we want to abandon completely "single-branch" workflow, where you
don't use tracking branch, only merge directly into your working branch?
That is the cause to (unused by most) future git-merge (replacement for
git-pull .) --fetch=<remote>[#<branch>] option.

I'm not that sure about --merge option, but it could be useful, at least
to have current automatic "Merge branch '<branch>' of <URL>" commit message.
