The way it works is that

with no branch specs will update all branches that are IN COMMON between

True, as long as you don't have any Push: lines in your .git/remotes/repo
file.  Any such lines act just like you gave them on the command line
which afaik effectively removes the ability to say "update all branches
we have in common".
