Pulling some branch to a topic branch, or pulling a topic branch to another branch? Either way, since I think these two are different modes: 1) git pull 2) git pull origin topic Maybe it would actually make sense to have a configuration specific to 2): pull.topicmode. This way they could do "pull.topicmode = merge-no-ff". Or maybe we need arguments: "pull.topicargs = --merge --no-ff". -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
