And there wouldn't be a difference between the two commands WRT the handling of remote tracking branches. git pull origin myBranch does something like: git fetch origin myBranch git merge FETCH_HEAD The remote and the refspec are passed to "git fetch" by "git pull". So because there's an explicit refspec, the default value from the config is not used. And because the refspec has no right side, things get stored to FETCH_HEAD.
