I don't see why these remotes should have a different workflow, and why there couldn't be hooks to do whatever is required to pull/push from these remotes when git pull/push'ing. This might not be easy to implement, but I think it is a worthwhile goal. - Git-aware mergetool There are various merge scenarios where using standard tools such as those supported by current git-mergetool is not very helpful, and where some basic git awareness might help the user resolve conflicts in more natural ways.
