        When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default refspec to
        be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value has exactly to match

It is OK, but

        The merge information is used by `git pull` (which at first calls
        `git fetch`) to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
-       this option, `git pull` defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.

        Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.

... but this is not. I interpreted it wrongly, sorry.
