If that is how you use multiple trees, I think you can make that
"My central repository which is a mirror of Paulus" a bare
repository clone; keep updating it with git-fetch instead as a
bare repository does not have an associated working tree.
( setup )
$ git clone --bare git://git.kernel.org/.../ paulus-mirror.git
( periodical mirror update from upstream )
$ cd paulus-mirror.git && git fetch
( forking off your play area )
$ git clone -l -s paulus-mirror.git foobranch.git
$ cd foobranch.git
$ git checkout --track -b foobranch origin/foobranch
$ hack hack
( after mirror update )
$ cd foobranch.git
$ git pull ;# this pulls from your mirror
