Everybody hated the pull behaviour of merging the first branch listed on remotes/* file (or remote.*.fetch config) into the current branch. This finally corrects that UI wart by forbidding "git pull" without an explicit branch name on the command line or branch.$current.merge for the current branch. The matching change to git-clone was made to prepare the default branch.*.merge entry for the primary branch some time ago.
