It sets up "git pull" to do the obvious thing, but does not do anything more. The branch is left in the same state than without the patch. So the scripts will still work unless they create branches blindly, and blindly do a "git pull" expecting it to do the unobvious thing.
Well, I find it unobvious for pull to magically starting merging. Perhaps I'm using branch configuration in .git/config for too long, and actually expect nothing to be merged if there is no appropriate branch configuration. - 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
