"git pull origin master:master" is a bit unusal thing to say these days, but the "take their refs/heads/master, and copy it to my refs/heads/master (as long as it results in a fast-forward update and as long as I am not on 'master')" part of it can be reproduced by "git fetch origin master:master". So I do not see what you see as a problem. You are willing to be explicit to say that unusual "directly update my local branch 'master'" from the command line for your "git pull", so I would imagine you are also OK with doing the same with "git fetch" in the replacement.
