The manpages seem to be making somewhat of a point of mentioning "git pull .
<branch>" as the way to merge a local branch into the current one but a
simple "git merge <branch>" seems to work well. Is there a difference?

git pull also does a fetch in it's usual mode of operation, and runs
git merge to do merge changes in the remote-tracking branches.

So in the case of merging a branch from the local repository into the current branch, there is no difference between the two?
