Looks right to me, although we should probably note that this probably 
means that if pull does a fetch that fails for some ref that you're not 
merging, it won't do the merge, even though it obviously could. So I think 
fixing this would presently (unless fetch and pull communicate more) be a 
regression for people whose upstreams introduce a new non-ff branch that 
matches their non-force fetch pattern.
