Could you explain a situation where this would be useful?  A
"parent<-->child" relationship, where there's one upstream branch that
is always merged in, is easily handled; just replace your "git pull
parent" by a "git pull", right?  Am I misunderstanding the proposal?

And is there any reason why your proposal conflicts with Junio's?
