That's wrong, wrong, WRONG! What to do in the case of conflicts?
Whan you pull, you can resolve them, as they are on your local side,
but when you push you cannot do that.

That is also wrong: how do you decide name of new branch then, and
woundn't this lead to proliferation of branches?

You can do the same with git, but you have to specify new branch name
in repo A, or just configure remote in repo B.

BTW. how do you want for user A (which might be not at terminal, or might
be not logged in, or might use some application using terminal, or might
use multiple [virtual] terminals, or...) to be informed?
