The problem is that you have committed a merge on top of the StGIT
stack, and StGIT can't deal with that. You can undo the merge
(provided that you haven't committed anything else on top of it) with
"git reset --hard HEAD^".

  NOTE: "reset --hard" will erase uncommitted modifications to working
  tree files, so first make sure that "git status" doesn't report any
  modifications you want to keep.

If you want to get a better view of what it is you're doing, you could
fire up gitk and find the sha1 of the commit that is supposed to be at
the top of the StGIT stack, and "git reset <sha1>" to that commit.

Once the merge is undone, just "stg pull" like you wanted to do in the
first place.
