My script right now does.
git fetch origin
git fetch --tags origin
git remote update
git checkout master
git reset --hard origin/master
Sure I can continue using the script (until some change breaks it %),
but I was just asking if that was a common enough operation to deserve
some better support in standard git. It personally (as a relatively
inexperienced git user) took me some time to come up with
this script and I found the original behaviour of git pull on rebased
trees double-plus unintuitive.
Just an idea for improvement.
