You just need two remotes -- simply run `git remote add rt
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git`
to add this remote.  Then, `git fetch --all` to fetch from all
remotes.

A `pull` is a `fetch` plus an additional action depending on the
switches and the situation (merge, merge with rebase, ff merge etc).
You can run `fetch`, irrespective of the branch you're on.  However,
you need to switch branches to perform a `merge` operation, because of
the way it works.

Hope that helps.
