If you set them appropriately, taking example of your other repository (and probably you would also want to remove .git/remotes/origin while you are at it), you can omit saying which branch to pull from where. I personally never understood why people would just want to say "git pull" without saying anything else, but what described in the DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR section is how it works. - 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
